Restrictive covenants for employers

Hibberts solicitors employment department regularly advise upon restrictive covenants, also called post-termination restrictions.

This specialist and complex area of law is often under-estimated. For a business, the protection of your business interests cannot be overstated. Having valid, well drafted and enforceable restrictive covenants in documents such as your contracts of employment is essential.

You may be an employer who needs urgent advice about a current or former employee who you fear has taken confidential information? Or who you believe is to join a competing business in breach of their contract? The sooner you instruct a specialist legal advisor the better and the greater chance of minimising harm to your business. We have excellent links with specialist third parties who may be instructed to conduct forensic examinations of devices in cases where theft of confidential information, team moves or misconduct may be suspected.

Rest assured our experienced team will advise you upon steps from the outset of the case through to its conclusion, adopting a pragmatic and commercial approach from day one. Give your business the protection it deserves and invest in professionally drafted contracts of employment and restrictive covenants that will safeguard your business interests in the future.
