North West England Restrictive Covenant Lawyers
A written employment contract can contain explicit and implied obligations. An employment contract can also be verbal in nature. Acts of Parliament and trade union agreements also impose obligations on and provide rights to employers and employees. As with other types of contracts, disputes can arise over the meaning of an employment contract's provisions. The solution to this potential problem is the advice and services of a specialist employment law solicitor.

Restrictive Covenants
Employers often insert restrictive covenants in employment contracts and make employees sign such covenants as a condition of employment. The most common of these are clauses involving a non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality. They aim to restrict the employee's activities after the employment ends. Disputes often arise over the validity and enforceability of such clauses.
For employers, we can draft specific and tightly worded documents designed to withstand scrutiny and be enforceable. For employees, we can advise on the validity of an existing covenant or seek modifications in a proposed employment contract which can protect the employee's rights after leaving employment.
