    The principles of fair dealing require businesses to be particularly careful to comply with the rules, especially where unfair competition is established or alleged \u2013 conduct that can disrupt a business through mass poaching of key employees, free-riding, misappropriation of customer data or know-how, or disparagement.<\/p>

    Our team has extensive experience of all types of legal action related to acts of unfair competition, whether the firm\u2019s clients are victims or alleged perpetrators of such behaviour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
