Protect Employer’s Legitimate Interests

We design tailored protection mechanisms and restrictive covenant clauses to fit specific business interests our clients seek to protect. Our bespoke approach maximises the chances of enforceability and mitigates risks. Additionally, our network of trusted regional correspondents across Asia-Pacific enables us to ensure the uniformity of standard clauses and contracts for clients with employees throughout the area.

Enforceability and enforcement of restrictive covenants, post-termination restrictions, non-competition clauses, protection of trade secrets, non-solicitation clauses, intellectual property clauses, fiduciary duties, garden leave, confidentiality undertakings, talent retention strategies.

Restrictive covenants are generally considered as unenforceable restraints of trade in Hong Kong, unless the employer can justify that they are reasonable to protect a legitimate business interest.
