We act for employers and employees alike in relation to employment disputes.  Predominantly, we assist in relation to restraint of trade matters.  As a business owner it is important to have an employment contracts which protect the employer’s confidential information and goodwill and clients, employees, and business generally.  Whilst restraint of trade clauses are generally contrary to public policy as they pose restrictions on an individuals right to seek employment and work, they will be enforceable where they go no further than to protect the legitimate business interests of the employer.  

​

It is important that urgent steps are taken to protect the employer’s business interests if a remedy is going to be sought from the Court.

If you are seeking some advice about a proposed restraint of trade clause or you are looking to enforce a restraint against an employee, please contact our office for a no obligation chat and don’t delay.
