We fully appreciate the disruption former employees can cause to you if they leave and set up a business in opposition or poach customers and other employees. It can be devastating: fatal even and crush morale in the process. JCLM have experience in drafting restrictive covenants which preclude employees from acting in this way and enforcing them through cease and desist letters and court action where necessary. This may involve urgently seeking an injunction to prevent the action continuing and seeking financial compensation for loss of profit on the opportunities deprived by the former employee.
