PARTNER RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

We have vast experience in advising partners and LLP members on their restrictive covenants, including the enforceability or otherwise of those restrictions, the tactical handling of them and, perhaps most importantly, how such issues are typically resolved in practice.

We defend partners in High Court and arbitration proceedings in relation to the attempted enforcement of partner restrictive covenants.

Many of the partner restrictive covenant matters on which we advise will have a cross-border element involving two or more foreign jurisdictions, with potentially conflicting laws and ethics rules on the issue of restrictive covenants.  We work frequently with overseas lawyers who are experts in such issues.

Contact David Fisher or Clare Murray for more information.
