Drafting and reviewing employment contracts

Employment contracts

Approach

Ensuring that your employees have up-to-date and accurate employment contracts is key to maintaining a successful working relationship with your employees and protecting your business from the risk of tribunal claims.

Our approach of allocating you a dedicated solicitor, who will take the time to thoroughly understand your business and sector, ensures that your employment contracts are tailored to your specific business’ purpose and that they provide adequate protection from your unique risks.

Your employment solicitor will advise you on drafting and reviewing your contracts of employment, taking into consideration commercial and legal perspectives and providing advice on the key terms required within the contract dependant on the seniority of the employee.

If necessary, we can also assist you with the inclusion of restrictive covenants within the contract to prevent employees from competing against your business by working for a competitor or for themselves.

In addition to having a dedicated point of contact, you will also have 24/7 access to our comprehensive document bank which contains a range of useful employment documents including standard template contracts.

Employment contracts

Experience

Our employment and HR lawyers regularly advise multinational companies on their employment contract terms, providing clarity on their contractual relationships with their employees at all levels.

This has resulted in fewer internal HR issues for our clients, including a reduction in grievances and tribunal claims, as well as improving the efficiencies of their recruitment process.

They are also highly experienced in advising on contract types surrounding the complexities of worker and self-employed employee statuses to minimise the risks of future tribunal claims being brought forward.
