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.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The contract sets crucial rights and obligations, including notice, remedies for breach, and post-employment restraints. A solicitor protects the client by ensuring terms comply with employment law, reflect accurate duties, and address pay and benefits while safeguarding rights under the Employment Rights Act 1996 and relevant legislation; enforceability and clarity reduce future disputes.
