We are pleased to present the latest edition of the ILLN Newsletter. This issue focuses on restrictive and post-contractual clauses including non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality and related provisions as applied across ILLN member states. While the legal frameworks, conditions for validity and enforcement mechanisms vary considerably between jurisdictions, a common thread runs through each contribution: the need to strike a proportionate balance between protecting legitimate employer interests and preserving the employee’s freedom to work.

This cross-jurisdictional overview highlights both shared principles and key differences in how post-contractual restrictions are regulated and enforced across Europe.

We hope you will enjoy reading this edition.
