Restrictive Covenants, Confidentiality and Intellectual Property

Know your limits. Protect your future.

If you’re starting a new job or leaving your current one, it’s important to understand any restrictions in your contract - especially those that limit where you can work, what you can share or how you move forward. We help individuals review restrictive covenants, confidentiality terms and intellectual property clauses so you don’t sign away more than you should.

We give you clear, practical advice to help you make informed decisions and avoid future disputes.

We advise employees and contractors on:

• Reviewing and explaining restrictive covenants such as non-compete, non-solicitation and non-dealing clauses.
• Understanding confidentiality obligations during and after employment.
• Protecting your rights when leaving a business or starting a new role.
• Ownership of work, inventions and intellectual property.
• Defending against accusations of breach or misuse of confidential information.
• Negotiating fairer contract terms or resolving disputes with former employers.

We’ll help you balance your contractual obligations with your right to move forward in your career.

• Specialist employment and contract law expertise
• Clear, plain-English advice so you understand exactly what your contract says and what it means for you
• Responsive and confidential support when time is short or disputes arise
• Trusted by professionals at all levels, from employees to senior executives

Restrictive covenants and IP clauses are often overlooked — until they become a problem. Whether you’re changing jobs, starting your own business or facing pressure from a former employer, we’ll help you understand your position and protect your interests. Our advice is always practical, personalised and completely confidential.

We help you move forward without unnecessary risk.
