Defended client’s interests in relation to an employee’s breach of a non-competition agreement

Our Competition law team successfully represented a client in a dispute concerning a breach of a non-competition agreement by a former employee.

The client’s former employee, after terminating her employment agreement with the client, signed an employment agreement with a competing company, thus breaching the non-compete agreement, which stipulated that she would not work for six months for companies involved in freight transport or logistics.

In this case, the dispute was resolved efficiently and firmly, in the most favourable conditions for the client, since, after collecting all the evidence and recording all the circumstances, the former employee paid the requested fine and returned the non-compete payment to the client, which made it unnecessary for the dispute to be settled before the Labour Disputes Committee.
