Restrictive covenants must go no further than what is reasonably necessary to protect an employer’s legitimate business interests; otherwise they will be legally unenforceable. Proving that a restrictive covenant is reasonable depends on various factors such as the nature of the employee’s job, whether the employer is local or national and whether the restrictive covenant covers all employees or just employees in certain roles.
