European Partner Spotlight: When is a non-compete too much? Lessons from Malta’s Courts
Dr. Charlene Mifsud, Partner at Andersen in Malta, examines how Maltese courts approach non-compete and client restriction clauses in employment contracts.
While Malta lacks specific legislation on non-competes, such clauses are governed by the Civil Code under general contract law. Courts apply the principle of restraint of trade, balancing business protection with an individual’s right to work.
Poland – key findings:
- Criticism of social groups as a reason for termination
- Liberalizing the approach to social security contribution relief for subsidizing food for employes
- Partial implementation of the Pay Transparency Directive
- Poland to redefine employment tenure from 2026
