Partner Anthony Sakrouge has featured in Corporate Live Wire having written an article discussing the proposed changes to non-compete clauses in employment contracts by the UK Government. The article highlights the potential introduction of a three-month statutory limit on non-compete clauses and its implications for employees, employers, and the enforceability of such clauses, emphasising the need for employers to adapt to these changes.
In practice, the affect of the change is likely to be that employers will place employees on garden leave more often or earlier, to keep them away from confidential information for longer, and may offer and impose longer notice periods for the same reason.
