Like any other relationships, the breakdown of the employer and employee relationship can become bitter and acrimonious.

When this happens, it is vital that a business moves quickly and takes appropriate measures to protect its confidential information and trade secrets and minimise the disruption to business operations when key employees leave.

Conversely, if you are an employee, you should be mindful of your rights and obligations under the terms of your employment agreement and the Employment Ordinance to ensure your entitlements and avoid any allegations of wrongdoing.

We have acted for both employers and employees and understand their concerns and needs from both perspectives.
