Business Protection

How can we help?

During the course of employment, employees will have access to their employer’s technology, confidential information, intellectual property, contacts and clients, and perhaps most importantly the details of other employees and consultants engaged by the employer.

Employers may wish to consider including terms into the contract of employment that aim to restrict an employee’s ability to use – on an unauthorised basis and for their own benefit (or the benefit of another) – the resources, confidential information, clients, employees and property of the employer.

These contract terms are sometimes referred to as Restrictive Covenant terms.

Restrictive Covenant clauses usually apply whilst the employment relationship persists and also after the employee’s employment has terminated. How long the restrictions will be effective and enforceable after the termination of employment is dependent on the business interest being protected and the proportionality of the length of the restriction.

The Tribunal and Courts have taken a restrictive approach to the interpretation and enforceability of such clauses, so it is important that any restrictive covenants included into the contract of employment have been considered carefully by the employer and can be evidenced as being in pursuit of a legitimate business interest and are proportionate.

At Hanne & Co, our Employment Law team  can assist you to develop tailored Restrictive Covenant clauses for inclusion into your contracts of employment. Accessing legal advice at the appropriate time can enhance the prospects of these types of clauses being found to be enforceable should that become necessary.

Highly recommended. Took all of the strain and stress during conveyancing and explained everything clearly and concisely.

Family & Divorce

Over the period I found you to be professional, assured, confident and well-prepared dealing with the technical and complex. Sometimes issues were almost forensic. This was complimented by your ability to understand the personal anxiety that a client experiences as the process takes different directions and help with an empathetic approach which was much valued.

Your great patience was much appreciated, your lovely approach to people made me feel like a friend rather than a client- that makes the trauma of divorce easier to get through. Thank you again for everything.

Despite your busy work schedule, you always made our case at the top of your priority list, you kept us calm and soothed our fears. Without your wonderful advice and your firm’s legal experience, we would not have the outcome we had. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone who needs a brilliant solicitor.

I will never forget the feeling when I heard the outcome of the court ordering my children to be returned home. I cannot thank you enough for your assistance. Your legal expertise, professionalism and attention to detail went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Child Abduction

I just wanted to thank you for all the time, effort and meticulous attention to detail regarding my case over the past year or so.  You are always prepared to go the extra mile, working long hours and your ability to recall the smallest and often most significant details amongst a wealth of facts in my highly complex case never ceases to amaze me.  I appreciate all you have done and the manner in which you conducted my case and liaised with me throughout. It was very reassuring to have you on my side.  I do not know what I would have done without you.
