Confidentiality and employees

Jonathan Winston Jonathan Winston

The High Court has refused to order an injunction to restrain an employee from using or disclosing confidential information, despite the existence of a confidentiality agreement. The court also declined to impose a "barring order" on the employee. This case is a reminder that, in practice, the only way for an employer to protect the information which he wishes to protect is, in many cases, by including a restrictive covenant in the contract of employment.

My Will was written during Wills Month via St Gemma's Hospice. The service was quick and efficient. I have only given 4 stars as there was an error in the original draft.

Found the process smooth and efficient. I was able to get information I required promptly and if not available immediately on the telephone then any messages left were replied to. Siddra Razaq and Tom McIlroy were responsible for the handling of my sale and I would certainly use them again.

Many of my family members have used Winstons Solicitors for their conyancing, over many years. I too have now used them and they did not disappoint. Samantha Robertson-Strong and Paulo Dos Santos were my main persons of contact. They were highly professional and very thorough, whilst maintaining an air of friendliness and approachability throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
