We have seen a growing number of cases where departing employees leave taking customers, confidential information and active work opportunities with them. Soon thereafter, they appear working for the competition or even in their own newly established businesses.
In many cases the commercial impact is immediate and significant. The harm inflicted is not limited to financial harm: departing employees often denigrate their former employer when seeking to win business.
This is why protecting goodwill and sensitive business information is becoming an increasingly important priority for organisations of all sizes.
To address these risks, we are hosting a CPD seminar on Tuesday, 31 March 2026 titled:
“Protecting customers, confidential information and your workplace from departing employees.”
The session will feature Robert French of Francis Burt Chambers, together with Bennett Senior Associate Nick Parkinson. They will discuss restraint enforcement, recent case developments and the proactive steps employers can take to safeguard their businesses.
If you have not yet registered, I encourage you to secure your place. We would be delighted for you to join us.
Guests are also invited to stay after the seminar for drinks and canapés.
