Restraint of trade contracts
We can provide you with legal advice on restraint of trade contracts. We advise Perth business owners as well as employees on non-compete clauses and restraint of trade issues arising out of employment contracts and Deeds of Confidentiality.
Restraint of trade contracts restrain employees or contractors from carrying out a particular trade for a certain period of time and within a certain area.
They also often include "non-solicitation clauses" which are clauses that prevent an employee or contractor from pursuing clients of the employer or principal’s business.
Our rates and fixed prices are lower than the prices charged by many Perth Commercial law firms because we own our offices so we don't pay the exorbitant St George's Tce rent that many commercial law firms do.
Further information can be found here regarding our fixed fees.
We have represented clients in complex employment contract cases in the Supreme Court for 20 years. It is a growing area of litigation.
We can provide you with legal advice on your rights and obligations in restraint of trade contracts, including whether the restraint of trade contracts are legally enforceable.
