Restrictive Covenant Clauses

This collection contains additional restrictive covenant clauses and a related letter, for use alongside your employment agreements where you need to protect the business from specific competitive risks after employment ends.

When these clauses are typically used

The appropriate level of restriction will depend on the employee’s seniority, responsibilities and their level of contact with customers, suppliers and other staff. Employers often use restrictive covenants to limit the extent to which an ex-employee can compete with them.

What these clauses aim to restrict

Restrictive covenant clauses can be used to try to prevent an ex-employee from, for example, working in a specific geographical area, contacting customers/clients, or poaching staff.

Enforceability and “reasonableness”

Because these clauses operate as a restraint of trade, it is important to apply “reasonable” limitations so they have the best chance of being enforceable as a legitimate means to protect the employer’s business interests.
