Carefully drafted contracts and executive service agreements are the foundation of any employer/employee relationship. They protect your business and let your staff know what is expected of them in their roles. At senior levels, a poorly written contract can leave a business exposed to unfair competition and commercial risk.
A restrictive covenant is a clause in a contract that protects your business if a member of staff leaves. They aim to prevent an employee from joining a competitor for a limited period, from soliciting or working with customers or from soliciting or employing your staff. Without proper covenants in place, particularly for executive roles, your business is at risk.
