Businesses regularly worry about the security of the propriety information and the risks associated with some of their employees with access to sensitive, confidential jumping ship to a competitor. 

This program will review the impact of restrictive covenants, such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, which are designed to minimize the risks in these situations. 

We will consider how they can be used to protect a business; the risks of engaging them vs. not engaging them; and how businesses can take steps to ensure they are enforceable. We will also review some notable court decisions from Ontario and across Canada considering these provisions in a variety of contexts.

 

Learning objectives:

  • What are restrictive covenants?
  • What are the key types of restrictive covenants?
  • What is the impact of restrictive covenants in employment law cases?
  • When are restrictive covenants valid and enforceable?
  • What are the consequences for breach of a restrictive covenant?
  • What are some strategies and considerations for employers who require restrictive covenants?

 

Who should attend?

HR professionals; finance professionals; anyone else who manages employee terminations.
