Our Partner, Clare Chappell, has an excellent article available discussing restrictive covenants. Clare discusses the different types of restrictive covenants, why an employer might choose to include them and their enforceability.

Clare also discusses the value of getting professional advice as early in the process as possible – “If you don’t already have a lawyer like me on hand, it’s essential that you take urgent legal advice on this type of communication, especially if it contains threats of legal action, and more especially if it threatens an injunction. There will usually be a lot of pressure put on you including a short deadline to respond. This is not the time to ignore the matter, you need to act quickly to get advice and help to put together the best response.”
