The High Court has refused to order an injunction to restrain an employee from using or disclosing confidential information, despite the existence of a confidentiality agreement. The court also declined to impose a "barring order" on the employee. This case is a reminder that, in practice, the only way for an employer to protect the information which he wishes to protect is, in many cases, by including a restrictive covenant in the contract of employment.

We recently worked with Leasa Foster at Winston Solicitors as our solicitor for purchasing our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Leasa was incredibly professional, thorough, and proactive throughout the entire process. She kept us informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and always responded quickly to our questions — no matter how small.Buying a house can be stressful, but Leasa made the whole journey smooth and straightforward. Her attention to detail and calm, reassuring approach gave us complete confidence that we were in safe hands.We are truly grateful for her support and highly recommend Leasa Foster and Winston Solicitors to anyone looking for an efficient and reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Very handy as a local north Leeds firm, no need to travel to Leeds. Understood exactly what we required and prepared the documents carefully and quickly. Kept us informed as to progress throughout. I would recommend them for any private client work.
