In the past year as businesses are forced to make headcount reductions, the staff remaining are key – both in terms of business continuity and the knowledge of the business and customers that they hold. An organisation doesn't want to see valuable resource and knowledge walk out the door and as a consequence, there has been an increased focus as employers seem more willing and open to take steps to protect their legitimate interests when a key employee leaves.

In the first episode of our MEA Employment Law podcast series on key employment issues across the Middle East & Africa region, employment partners Rebecca Ford, Sara Khoja and Emma Higham discuss the enforcement by employers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar of post-termination restrictions and protection of confidentiality.

Speakers: Rebecca Ford, Sara Khoja, Emma Higham
