Expertise
Restraints of trade are a complex but important area for businesses. While it can be advantageous for a business to have employees with valuable customer relationships and valuable experience built during their employment, we help our clients take steps to protect their business interests when a key employee leaves.
SWS Lawyers assists our clients by advising on and preparing post-employment restraints in employment contracts, as well as advising on any existing restraints. We also act on behalf of our clients in enforcing those restraints should an employee engage in conduct that breaches their restraint provisions.
SWS Lawyers can also assist in relation to commencing urgent Court proceedings to seek to enforce restraints against former employees before our clients incur any further damage. SWS Lawyers has extensive experience seeking such relief in a wide range of matters.
