Business Protection and Restrictive Covenants
With you when you need us
Competition from former employees is to be expected, but is it always fair? Whether you want to protect your business' interests by placing restrictive covenants on your employees or are considering hiring new talent with experience working for competitors, our restrictive covenant lawyers can protect your business from all angles. This will prevent your assets from being misappropriated or abused and can help you to recruit talent free from challenging and unfair restraints.
We offer expert advice on how to draft post-termination restraints, as well as how to pick them apart. We also help investigate and prevent potential wrongdoing. When required, we can support you to take action within days - or sometimes just hours - of discovering a risk.

Interpretation
If you're onboarding talent but are unsure whether this could be in breach of a restrictive covenant with a previous employer, we can help. We can interpret contracts and determine whether they can be upheld to protect legitimate business interests.
Investigation
If your employee is poached by a competitor, or plans to start their own competitive business, your business could be at risk of a restrictive covenant breach. We're experts in recognising common patterns of behaviour in these scenarios. We'll conduct corporate forensic investigations to gather the information and data required to take effective action against "bad leavers".
Enforcing post termination restrictions
The law around restrictive covenants is complex and its application is uncertain. We understand the principles, as well as how enforcing a restrictive covenant can be made effective in practice. If a current or previous employee is disregarding the terms of their contract, we can help to enforce post-termination restrictions, offering support with injunctions and protecting your business from potential damage.
