Disputes (Business)

Sensitive Information

Although similar businesses will operate along similar lines, most have some information which they would consider to be commercially sensitive. You don’t want your competitors to know exactly who your clients are or how much you have billed them. You may have product or service specifications that need to be kept out of the public domain. There are things you can do to protect your commercially sensitive information but what happens if one of your employees defects to a rival business and spills the beans? Do you have a course of action?

What if you need to divulge sensitive information when trying to win business which you then fail to do? We can advise you about confidentiality agreements, restrictive covenants and intellectual property rights and most importantly, we can advise you when things don’t go to plan.
