    This work covers drafting and tailoring employment contracts for individuals, including core terms such as job title and duties, pay, hours, holiday, notice, probation, and termination. A solicitor drafts and negotiates confidentiality, intellectual-property, non-solicitation and restrictive covenants, grievance and disciplinary procedures, and any bespoke protections needed by the role. They review employer drafts, align terms with current law, and ensure the contract is enforceable and clear for both sides.

    Tim Edgeley Your solicitor Tim Edgeley Partner in Employment Law
    “I am so grateful for the service I have received from Poole Alcock LLP as a whole, but also more specifically from Rachel Day. Rachel and the team have been extremely supportive and helpful. Correspondence was always extremely detailed and answered all my concerns. The team put my mind at ease and ensured I knew what I was entitled to when I was going through a stressful and unnerving time. I would not be in the position I am in now without the expert advice I received from Poole Alcock LLP. Very happy the service. ”

    “I found working with Amanda great from the get go. She was realistic about timings, able to assist to help meet my goals, with guidance which meant things were done right to protect me longterm as well as within the immediate situation with clear communication throughout. I felt that I could trust her judgement and that she listened well to my needs explaining the details to ensure I understood. The meetings we had were professional yet friendly and offices well presented in a lovely location. Quote was slightly higher than other local firms, but for the service delivered worth it & would certainly use them again (Amanda in particular).”
