Restraint of Trade
Restriction of trade clauses prevent former employees from working for competitors of their previous workplace. Consult with an experienced restraint of trade lawyer to ensure you are clear about your obligations.
We Are Here to Help You
Is there a restraint of trade clause in your employment contract that you have no idea what it means? Are you familiar with what your rights and obligations are? Importantly, do you know if you are free to work where you choose once your current employment comes to an end? Rubix Legal is here to serve as your restraint of trade lawyer to help you fully understand the responsibilities and obligations of your contract.

- Maybe you recently secured a new role, but the company wants you to sign an employment contract that has a complicated and confusing restraint of trade clause in it that you honestly have no idea what it means.
- Or perhaps you recently resigned from your position and later received a nasty letter from your old boss threatening that if you go and work for a competitor then you will be sued.
- Or maybe you are somewhere in between. You are thinking of leaving your job and hoping to secure a great new role elsewhere, but in the back of your mind there is that niggling feeling that there might be something in your employment contract that restricts you from working in the way you want to.
Whatever your situation might be, we understand the confusion that is running through your mind. You are worried about agreeing to terms that unfairly restrict your ability to pursue the career you want. You are anxious about potentially doing the wrong thing, breaching the restraint and permanently damaging your reputation. You are unclear about what you can and cannot do. You want to understand your obligations so you can move forward with confidence and avoid getting sued.
So, what should you do if you find yourself in one of these scenarios? At Rubix Legal, our non compete lawyers are dedicated to giving you the clarity and peace of mind that you need to move on and make confident decisions about your career.
