World@Work: Post-employment restraints

Post-employment restraints, also known as 'restraints of trade', are clauses often contained in an employment contract that seek to prevent former employees from engaging in a range of competitive activities for a period of time after their employment ends. This episode is part of Ashurst’s ongoing World@Work Global Employment series, which explores critical employment issues impacting global jurisdictions with unique perspectives from Ashurst Employment law experts. In this episode, Employment partner Jennie Mansfield hosts a discussion about developments affecting post-employment restraints with colleagues across the globe, touching on issues like limits on the length of prohibitions in the UK and Spain and their impact on leaver clauses in stock option plans in Germany. Jennie is joined by Crowley Woodford, partner from London, Andreas Mauroschat, partner from Frankfurt, Cristina Grande, Counsel from Madrid and Muriel Pariente, partner from Paris.
