The Employment Group at No5 Barristers’ Chambers has a dedicated group of barristers specialising in Employment Injunctions.

Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses, confidentiality, business protection and injunctions.

In today’s competitive and commercial world, organisations find themselves more vulnerable to the risk of employees’ and directors’ breaches, for example:

  • Stealing business-critical data, trade secrets, confidential information and client data
  • Poaching key clients and/or personnel
  • Setting up competing enterprises
  • Moving to a competitor with such data

Without taking immediate steps to prevent such abuse, damage to business can be very costly and sometimes irreparable.
