Protecting your business: current trends in non-competes and confidential information

The Hogan Lovells Global employment team held a webinar on 26 September to highlight current trends in the enforcement of covenants and protection for confidential information in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK and the U.S. We discussed the key issues and what they mean in practice for multi-national employers.

Many multi-national employers would like to take a global approach to protecting confidential information and shielding their business against competition from former employees. However, local laws inevitably constrain how far this can be achieved. Some countries require employees to be compensated for entering into non-compete agreements. What is permitted in one jurisdiction in terms of the scope or duration of a restriction may not be enforceable in another.
