Drafting and enforcing restrictive covenants

As more employers focus on offering flexible working for their employees, an increase in remote working and advancements in technology have led to employees becoming more trusted with sensitive business information.

Ensuring that you have well-drafted restrictive covenants is crucial to minimise your risk of losing clients and valued employees.
