Post termination restraint and non-compete Issues
Employers:
If you are an employer, you may be considering including a post-employment restraint of trade clause within your employment agreements. The restraints you may be looking to place on an employee can vary according to each situation. However, as a general rule, restraint of trade clauses seek to prevent an employee from:
-
working for a competitor for some time after they leave the business; or
-
poaching or soliciting clients, staff and customers from their former employer.
Employees:
If you are an employee, it is important to know your rights once you leave your current employer. This includes if you can work for a competitor or if you want to open your own business. You may have agreed to something that you were not aware of or didn’t understand. We can help you navigate through the complex restraint laws.
