This area covers the creation, review and negotiation of an employee’s contractual terms, including core rights, duties and remedies set out in a contract of employment, variations to terms, restrictive covenants, and associated policies. A solicitor in this area drafts or amends the contract, negotiates with the employer or their HR team, checks for compliant dismissal or redundancy provisions, and advises on issues such as flexibility, probation, notice, pay, benefits and confidentiality. It also covers disputes arising from contract terms and exits.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The contract forms the basis of an employee’s rights and obligations; breaches can affect pay, job security and career prospects. A solicitor provides guidance on enforceable terms, raises concerns about unfair or unlawful provisions, and helps secure or challenge clauses through negotiation, correspondence, or, if needed, formal proceedings in employment tribunals or courts. Timely advice helps protect status, avoids unwanted consequences, and ensures a clear, workable exit or continuation of duties.
