Work with our Employment Law Specialists in Leamington Spa and Warwickshire
When leaving a job, post-termination restrictive covenants in your contract of employment can feel like a barrier to your next career move. At Blythe Liggins, we provide strategic legal advice to help you understand these clauses, assess their likely enforceability, and pursue your career goals with confidence.
The purpose behind restrictive covenants is to protect your former employer’s business interests. The covenants must protect a legitimate business interest of your former employer and go no further than is reasonable to protect that interest, otherwise the covenant(s) will be void, as being in restraint of trade.
Ideally, you should seek legal advice before you sign the document containing the restrictive covenants. Having said that, employees often seek advice from us when they are considering moving to a new employer, to understand the implications of the restrictive covenants which they have already entered into.
Our experienced employment law team can help you navigate these complex clauses and prevent potential disputes.
We can help individuals across Warwickshire and the UK, with expert employment legal advice.
