SHOPEE’S recent lawsuit against a former senior employee in its Singapore and Brazil offices has trained the spotlight on noncompetition clauses.
The Singapore-based e-commerce major’s case against Lim Teck Yong was dismissed by a judge last week.
The company sued Lim, who was executive director of operations position at Shopee Brazil, for joining ByteDance in 2023 – a move that allegedly breached non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions in his employment contract.
