"High-handed" non-competes risk cost orders in Hong Kong

Employment partner Hong Tran (Hong Kong) is quoted in this article discussing a Hong Kong court's decision to dismiss an employer's claim to enforce post-termination restrictive covenants against a former employee.

"The Hong Kong Courts’ view on post termination restrictive covenants (“PTRs”) applying to employees is well established. PTRs are unenforceable unless the employer can show they are aimed at protecting the employer’s legitimate interests and go no further than reasonably necessary to protect those interests," says Hong.
