Our Employment lawyers from Hong Kong, Singapore and the PRC share insights with you on the topic of non-compete clauses in employment contracts.

23 September 2021

Event

Non-compete clauses can be an important tool for employers to protect their trade secrets and confidential information. However, they are disliked by the courts in many jurisdictions and so must be drafted carefully to have any prospects of enforceability. In this webinar, we will look at the key issues to be considered by employers when drafting non-competes, and compare the legal framework for these provisions in Hong Kong, Singapore and the PRC.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

  • the basic rules in HK, SG and the PRC
  • considerations for drafting a valid non-compete clause
  • does an employee need to be paid during the non-compete period?
  • what are the available remedies for breach?
