A restrictive covenant is a clause in your contract of employment or employee handbook that stops you from working for a competitor of your employer or from soliciting or poaching customers of your employer after you leave.

We have been using Eaton Smith for the last few years for employment advice and have always found the assistance useful. This year they has helped us greatly with an employment case. Attention to detail and advice with the issues affecting our business have been invaluable and allowed us to successfully deal with some complex employment problems. I would recommend the Employment team to any business looking for employment advice and indeed have done so in the past.

Thank you so much for your time and help with this. I am beginning to feel confident we know what we are doing with GDPR now!
I would definitely recommend Irina as an employment law solicitor. Irina was very helpful, both in terms of her legal knowledge and how detail orientated and thorough she was. She was prompt when it came to responding to me and very realistic in her advice. Above all, Irina was professional but also very empathic and supportive. This really makes a difference when one is going through a difficult situation.
