Employment Non Compete And Confidentiality Agreements are essential legal instruments for Irish businesses seeking to protect their legitimate interests, trade secrets, and competitive advantage. These agreements are typically implemented when onboarding new employees or updating terms for existing staff members who have access to sensitive information, valuable client relationships, or strategic business knowledge. The document must comply with Irish employment law, which requires that restrictive covenants be reasonable and no wider than necessary to protect legitimate business interests. It must also align with GDPR requirements for data protection and the Constitutional right to earn a livelihood. The agreement is particularly crucial for knowledge-intensive industries and senior positions where employees have access to valuable proprietary information or significant client relationships.
