How would your business cope if one of your key employees or a team left to join a rival business or set up in competition?

Would you be in a secure position?

You may not be if your business is similar to those we advise, despite your desire to protect confidential information and avoid losing valuable commercial connections. Would your current arrangements give colleagues a head start if they left? How would your business have coped in the real examples of clients we have helped?

The degree to which a business can cope depends to a large extent on the steps it has taken to anticipate such an issue arising. This includes ensuring it has appropriate restrictive covenants/post-termination restrictions in place, that it adopts the right tactics on hearing of a departing employee and that it reacts decisively to any breaches of obligations by employees/ex-employees.

Our expert team offers employers practical, timely and effective advice and support in this area to make sure their organisations are protected appropriately so they can deal effectively with the threat to its business posed by departing employees.

For more information please do contact a member of the team or take a moment to complete our free, interactive assessment tool to gauge how well your business would cope in the event of a departing employee.
