Episode 9 - Non-competes Part 1: Why, how, getting it right and what does the future hold?

Join Catriona Watt and Shiv Raja for the first of two podcasts examining post termination non-compete clauses – a topic recently back on the radar as a result of Government consultation looking at their future. Many employers continue to regard these types of provision as an important part of business protection in certain situations, but they are also often seen  as a restraint on individual employees’ freedom.

In this first podcast, Catriona and Shiv talk about:

• why employers choose to include non-compete clauses in contracts
• key considerations when thinking about incorporating a non-compete clause into employment terms
• dispelling the common myth that non-compete clauses are not enforceable
• warnings signs that an employee has or is about to breach their contractual restrictions
