Restrictive Covenants

Do you have a clause in your contact of employment that restricts your freedom and where you work in the future and what information, clients and employees you can take away with you? 

The Employment team at Bindmans can advise you on the enforceability of restrictive covenants in contracts of employment. Employees seeking to leave their current employment to join a competitor, or intend to set up on their own company may find that their current or previous employer can prevent them, and even sue for losses that their business subsequently suffers.  We can advise you and even negotiate the removal of onerous post termination to help you avoid expensive legal proceedings. The Employment Team at Bindmans understands that these issues are often fast paced and require urgent advice. Our expert lawyers are on hand to defend urgent injunctions and protect your right to use the know-how you obtained with one employer to earn a living elsewhere.
