About this title

Review:

Foreword from the third edition In his foreword to the first edition of Employee Competition Sir Patrick Elias said that he expected it to become indispensable. That prediction has come true. One of the great strengths of Employee Competition is that it adopts a clear and carefully thought-out analytical structure to bring order to this disparate mass of law. (Sir Nicholas Underhill, Lord Justice of Appeal, 2016)

Review from previous editionEmployee Competition: Covenants, Confidentiality and Garden Leave makes any other work on this subject a luxury, says Stephen Levinson. Four years on from reviewing the first edition, he finds it hard to find new superlatives. (Stephen Levinson, ELA Briefing, June 2011)

...an exemplary service, and definitely a 'what to do' book! (Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers)

...needs to be read and understood by all employment lawyers and those interested in the further evolution of the laws governing relationships at work. (Graham Clayton, Law Gazette)

Foreword from the first edition Readers of this book will find a clear and detailed exposition of the relevant principles, thoughtful analysis, and wise advice. I confidently expect that this book will very quickly become the indispensable text for lawyers operating in this area. (Sir Patrick Elias, Lord Justice of Appeal)
