• Dealing with working time issues when there is a requirement to provide customer support around the clock
• Deciding on the effect of TUPE in business transfers and particularly in outsourcing situations
• Protecting the business by having effective post-termination restrictive covenants contained in the employment contracts of senior employees, including provisions preventing non-solicitation of clients and employees
• Protecting the business by having effective intellectual property provisions in contracts prepared for employees/contractors who are employed/engaged in the technology creation part of the business
• Ensuring that key employees are adequately rewarded and retained, through share options
