Work Examples - Doyle Clayton

We have a track record of achieving successful outcomes for our clients. Our employment team have worked with a variety of clients from a range of industry sectors. Some work examples include:

• Negotiating with a client’s former Business Development Manager to secure his resignation after he had joined a competitor in breach of a non-compete clause. The non-compete clause was at the limit of what might have been considered reasonable and enforceable. This sent a message both to our client’s employees and to its competitors that it was prepared to take action to enforce its restrictive covenants, if necessary. The matter was resolved more quickly and less expensively than if our client had had to apply for an interim injunction
• Successfully defending employers in the Employment Tribunal
• Supporting a construction company in managing employment relations issues from sickness absence to flexible working requests. Supporting the small HR team over the phone and by email meant that the problems could be avoided and the risk of employees bringing claims was significantly reduced
• Advising an employee at a fund manager on raising a grievance following a campaign of bullying and harassment by her manager which included the threat of a performance improvement plan
