Employees seeking to use your confidential information, set up a rival business or poach your clients or staff can pose a serious threat to your business. Post-termination restrictions, known as restrictive covenants, are designed to prevent employees from carrying on these kinds of activities. If you are concerned that one of your employees or former employees is breaching their restrictive covenants, you may want to apply for an injunction to curb the potential damage to your business.
