Restrictive Covenants

Properly drafted restrictive covenants are one of the most powerful tools an employer has to protect client relationships, confidential information, and key staff. We draft enforceable restrictions for senior hires and advise on enforcement — including urgent injunctive relief — when employees breach them.

Our Process

How We Work With You

01

Covenant Design

We draft restrictions calibrated to the employee's role, seniority, and market knowledge — maximising enforceability.

02

Breach Response

When a breach is suspected, we move quickly — assessing enforceability, gathering evidence, and issuing letters before action.

03

Court Action

Where necessary, we apply for urgent interim injunctions in the High Court to prevent further damage and preserve your position.

FAQs

Common Questions

Are non-compete clauses enforceable?

Yes — if drafted carefully. The restriction must go no further than reasonably necessary to protect a legitimate business interest. Courts are increasingly willing to enforce well-drafted clauses for senior employees.

How quickly can you get an injunction?

We can apply for an urgent interim injunction within 24–48 hours of instruction where the situation demands it.
