Post-Employment Obligations

Talent is often an employer’s greatest asset and whilst you cannot prevent employees from leaving from time to time, you can limit the damage an employee’s departure can or may potentially cause.

Part of limiting such damage is ensuring that employees have agreed to appropriate clauses managing their behaviour during employment. This also includes confidential information and intellectual property provisions.

Post-termination restrictive obligations can protect your business after the relationship has ended by preventing employees soliciting clients or employees, interfering with suppliers and much more.

Post-termination restrictions can be complicated and require bespoke and expert drafting to be enforceable. Herrington Carmichael’s Employment department regularly advise on and draft restrictive covenants and can advise you how best to protect your business.

The Herrington Carmichael Employment team can also assist your business through any enforcement proceedings that you need to take against former employees or that you may become aware of during your hiring process.
