Confidential information is often one of the most valuable assets of a business. In this challenging economic climate, there has never been a greater need for employers to protect that information.
Our lawyers in Ghana have experience in dealing with disputes around misuse of confidential information and unlawful competition by employees and directors, as well as challenges in protecting confidential information, particularly with the growth of new technology and social media.
Experience has included advising:
-
A company on the employment of contingent workers and in this regard advised on options for dealing with legacy issues, appropriate contracts for contingent workers and limits to their engagement and reviewed sample contracts of employment.
-
A multinational mining company in a suit brought against it by a former employee who breached the company’s policy on privacy and confidentiality.
-
A manufacturing company in a dispute to enforce a restrictive covenant contained in the employment contract of an expatriate employee.
