Team acquisitions and team departures

United Kingdom

Team acquisitions and team departures can have a huge impact on a business' success, particularly in the current economic environment. It is therefore essential that organisations understand the legal risks involved in acquiring a team from a competitor, or what legal tools are available to them to prevent teams being poached by a competitor. An early assessment of relevant factors, timely legal advice and careful pre-planning can make a significant difference to an organisation's commercial position and/or its potential exposure to liability.
