restricted covenants and injunctions

Such concern is heightened when the employer learns the employee cannot prevent the employee from joining the competitor or contacting the employer's clients/customers.

Restrictive covenants are needed to protect the employer's legitimate business interests and expert advice is needed when drafting such clauses. If they are too restrictive, the Courts will not enforce them because they constitute a restraint of trade.

Denison Till's employment department has extensive experience in drafting restrictive covenants and in enforcing such covenants by way of injunction proceedings in the High Court.
