I will assess your UK non compete clause before you accept a new job and mitigate risks
About this Gig
Are you ready to accept a new job but worried your current employer will block you? Transitioning to a competitor is legally perilous. I am Stephen Adshead, a licensed UK Solicitor (SRA ID: 272563), specializing in mitigating risks during career transitions. Accepting a job without analyzing your non-compete restrictions can trigger swift legal retaliation. Your former employer may threaten your new employer, leading to your job offer being revoked before you even start. I provide strategic, confidential assessments to ensure your move is legally viable. I will cross-reference the exact wording of your existing non-compete clause against the duties, location, and nature of your prospective new role. We will determine if the new position genuinely breaches your contract or if your former employer's restrictions are an unenforceable restraint of trade. You will receive a definitive legal roadmap allowing you to negotiate safely, resign with confidence, and transition seamlessly without triggering costly High Court injunctions. Do not gamble with your career or let an old contract dictate your future. Send me a message today to assess your risk and secure your next big career move.

FAQ
Should I show my new employer my non-compete clause?
Usually yes, as they can also be sued for "inducing a breach of contract." However, you should get my legal assessment first so you can present them with solutions, not just problems.
Can my new employer buy me out of my non-compete?
Yes, occasionally an employer will negotiate an early release, but this requires careful legal strategy. I can advise you on how to approach this.
Does a non-compete apply if my new job is in a completely different industry?
Generally, no. Non-competes only protect an employer from direct competition. If the new industry doesn't overlap, the restriction usually cannot be enforced.
What is a "threat of injunction" letter?
It is an aggressive legal letter from your old employer demanding you step down from your new job. Getting advice before you move helps prevent these letters from ever being sent.
Will you speak to my new employer for me?
Yes, Message me for a custom offer
