Incorporating robust intellectual property clauses that not only cover employees but also contractors, consultants, and other workers will ensure your intellectual property is carefully protected and broadly enforceable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A carefully drafted intellectual property clause serves to clearly identify who owns newly created intellectual property, as well as that created before the employment relationship began. As such, having a carefully drafted intellectual property clause within your employment agreements is essential to reduce the risk of potential costly litigation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confidentiality and Disclosure&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Confidentiality and non-disclosure clauses should be carefully incorporated into your employment agreements to prevent company information from leaking. This clause can protect data relating to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>clinical trials;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>patients;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>research and development;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>project proposals; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>other proprietary information.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, restrictions should be extended beyond the employment relationship in order to protect post-termination disclosure of confidential information, which could ultimately lead to significant disruption or loss of a first-mover and competitive advantage in the marketplace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-Termination Clauses&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of your business&#8217; success will be your talented workforce and, ultimately, your customers and clients. Ensuring these assets are protected can be achieved through carefully drafted non-solicitation clauses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you may wish to consider restricting members of your workforce from entering into direct competition with your business through <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment\/what-is-a-non-compete-clause\/\">non-compete clauses<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--star\">\n    <p>The combination of both non-compete and non-solicitation clauses provides protection not only during the lifetime of your employment agreement but also for a period of time beyond its termination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drafting effective employment agreements involves bespoke tailoring to suit your business needs. A carefully drafted employment agreement will ensure your business is:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>compliant with industry regulation;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>compliant with data privacy requirements;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>protected against disclosure of confidential information;\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>protected against poaching and direct competition from current and former members of your workforce; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>competitive within the industry.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pharma or medtech business needs help with hiring employees,\u00a0our experienced\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment-lawyers-lp\/\">employment lawyers<\/a>\u00a0can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
