About the Webinar
Restraints of trade clauses are crucial in protecting business interests, yet they pose significant drafting challenges. With the Australian Bureau of Statistics reporting that nearly 47% of businesses include these clauses in employment contracts, the importance of precise and effective drafting cannot be overstated.

- Understanding the three main types of restraint of trade clauses (non-compete, non-solicitation and non-disclosure).
- Rebutting the presumption of unenforceability – in which jurisdictions does this apply?
- Considerations of reasonableness when drafting restraint of trade clauses generally
- Specific considerations when drafting restraints of trade in an employment law context
- Drafting effective cascading restraint of trade clauses
- One size doesn’t necessarily fit all: the importance of tailoring restraints of trade for particular facts and circumstances
- Lessons from recent decisions
