Dentons Employment and Labor group is pleased to announce this new international employment webinar series, providing a global overview of employee restrictive covenants.

Departing employees may be in a position to seriously harm their former employer's business. The ability of an employer to protect its vital business interests using post-termination restrictive covenants is therefore often crucial. In this series, we look at the different types of covenant and enforceability, including non-competes as well as restrictions against poaching staff and clients.  

This webinar series will be particularly helpful to in-house lawyers, HR practitioners and other stakeholders who are tasked with managing risk exposure and business protection in the context of departing employees.
