We are delighted to announce the publication of Bloch and Brearley “Employment Covenants and Confidential Information: Law, Practice and Technique” (4th Edition). Written and edited by Selwyn Bloch QC and Kate Brearley (Stephenson Harwood) with contributions from leading practitioners in the field, this textbook provides a comprehensive yet highly practical analysis of the law and practice in this area of employment disputes, setting out appropriate strategies from both the employer’s and employee’s perspective.
