Business Protection & Restrictive Covenants

Restrictive covenants prevent employees from competing with your business, taking your clients, or sharing your confidential information should they decide to leave your business or join a competitor.

We advise numerous businesses across the UK  and internationally in a variety of sectors on the use and implementation of restrictive covenants related to individuals and teams. We can create, draft, implement and enforce, taking into account the business need, the employees’ role and the wider competitive landscape.  We also regularly review existing restrictive covenants to ensure that they are compliant and up-to-date with clarity about how to enforce. 

Should you suspect the breach of a restrictive covenant, we are experienced in advising on the best course of action and have acted in some of the leading cases in this area. That can be finding a resolution through negotiation or supporting with any High Court proceedings that might be necessary.  At all stages, we’ll work to protect your position, commercial interests and your business.
