CASE STUDY / GLOBAL INSURANCE COMPANY
Ince & Co advised a Bermuda-based property and liability insurer in relation to the enforceability in the English Courts of restrictive covenants contained in an employment contract.
The insurer entered into an employment contract, governed by New York law, which included a number of non-compete obligations, including non-solicitation covenants. The contract was terminated and the employee indicated his intention to return to work in the UK. The employer was keen to ensure the restrictive covenants were enforceable in the UK.
Our employment lawyers advised on the enforceability of the covenants under English law and the enforceability through the English courts of an injunction obtained in New York.
