Taking part in Trinity Chambers' Newcastle 2023 Employment Law Conference, Trinity Commercial Litigation and Employment Silk, Simon Goldberg K.C. delivered a session entitled:
‘Post Termination Restrictions – Practical Hints & Tips’

Simon Goldberg K.C.’s talk provides some practical guidance on how to deal with the common situation of a senior employee with a contract containing post termination restrictions leaving to take up employment with a potential competitor.

The following topics are covered in the talk:

  • Communication
  • Decision to litigate
  • Committing to substantive proceedings
  • Costs implications
  • Cross undertaking in damages
  • Adverse publicity
  • Limiting the relief sought
  • Injunctions & confidential information
  • Will the covenant be upheld?
