The ‘Ins and Outs’ of Restraint of Trade Agreements
A restraint of trade is used to protect an Employer’s proprietary interests from being accessed by an Employer’s competitors.

An enforceable restraint of trade will prevent an Employee from joining an Employer’s direct competitor if the Employee has acquired confidential information and trade secrets from the former Employer.
