Get the answers to key questions to give you a greater understanding of restrictive covenants in employment contracts and how they can protect your legitimate business interests.
SA Law’s expert employment lawyer Chris Cook was joined by guest speaker Michael Salter, Barrister at 42 Bedford Row to explore this fascinating and often business-critical area of employment law.
Restrictive covenants, otherwise known as post-termination restrictions, can prevent the potentially serious damage that immediate competition from employees can create in the event of them leaving your business – for example in the poaching of customers or use of valuable know-how.
The key points covered during the hour-long restrictive covenants webinar include:
- An overview of the current laws related to restrictive covenants, including a useful look at recent cases of note that help employers understand restrictive covenant trends and relevant case law
- Practical steps from our highly experienced speakers to enable you to detect and avoid competitive activity
- Available remedies from proceedings, and how to respond to threatened proceedings.
Taking legal action in this area can involve a substantial amount of time and money, if you believe an employee or ex-employee has breached their restrictive covenants, so making sure that as an employer you understand the commercial objectives of restrictive covenants from the outset as a preventative measure is crucial.
This webinar on restrictive covenants focusses on employment contracts and will include non-compete and non-solicit clauses, advice for ex-employers and new employers on how to avoid competitive behaviour and how to deal with any breaches.
The webinar has been created with those operating in a HR capacity or at director level in mind, it would also be recommended for employment agency representatives too.
