In the wake of both the global pandemic and the cost of living crisis, we have seen an increased fluidity within the labour market and consider there has never been a more challenging time for employers. Whilst reward and flexibility are central to attracting and retaining talent, employers also need to minimise risk by ensuring their business is protected should a key employee resign.  Restrictive covenants play an important role here.  

Our employment experts and specialist restrictive covenant lawyers across the globe answer the following key questions:

Current trends and tendencies are shown in a global comparison, giving an overview of the various types of restrictive covenants from non-competition to non-solicitation of clients. This will help organisations to act in a legally secure manner in an increasingly technological and decentralised environment and to be ready for further challenges.
