What are restrictive covenants in an employment contract and how could they affect me if I wanted to move to a new job?

Restrictive covenants are restrictions placed on an employee which continue after the employment has ended. They can restrict you from working for a competitor, dealing with certain customers and from poaching employees. They must be reasonable in scope otherwise they are likely to be unenforceable. HK Law can provide advice on the effect and enforceability of any restrictions in your employment contract.
