What are restraint clauses?
Restraint clauses, also known as restrictive covenants, are included in employment contracts and service agreements to protect legitimate business interests. However, they must be reasonable and enforceable. Common types include:
Non-compete clauses
restricting employees from joining competing businesses
Non-solicitation clauses
preventing contact with clients, customers, or colleagues
Non-dealing clauses
restricting business dealings with certain parties
Non-enticement clauses
stopping employees from poaching key staff
You may need an experienced solicitor to advise on whether these clauses are enforceable, and help you understand what is likely to be considered fair and reasonable in the event of a dispute. I can help.
