Hiring staff in England covers the recruitment stage, from drafting and issuing job adverts and conditional offers to setting terms in a contract of employment and handling pre-employment checks. A solicitor specialising in this area helps prepare or review job specifications, offer letters, roles and duties, probationary terms, and reference requests, and ensures compliance with right-to-work and DBS obligations. The work also involves advising on fair recruitment processes and handling any post-offer conditions before the candidate starts.
The decision to hire creates binding obligations and potential liability if misrepresented. A solicitor helps ensure proper documentation, registers and monitors pre-employment checks, and clarifies probationary terms so that a candidate’s start date, duties and expectations are clear and enforceable.

Tagged solicitor Elizabeth Barrett
I was recommended Elizabeth Barrett by a friend who she had helped in a difficult employment situation. Liz was very approachable, friendly and explained everything in laymans terms, making sure I was 100% comfortable with the documents I was signing. I was very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to appoint Liz again if I ever need her help in the future.

Tagged solicitors Julie Granger and Leigh Anne Prebble-Benn
Dear Julie, I was made redundant in July and was advised by my company to speak with a solicitor about my redundancy settlement. Not only was I upset and worried about the situation, but also very scared and nervous about contacting a solicitor as this was all new to me. I contacted Kingsfords and spoke firstly to Jacqueline Chappell, who was very helpful and gave clear instructions on what I needed to send to her. Jacqueline immediately made me feel much better and told me that it would be Leigh Prebble-Benn who I would have my telephone appointment with. When I first read through my settlement agreement I didn't really understand what it all meant and so when Leigh took the time to read through it line by line to explain things in simpler terms, it wasn't so overwhelming. Leigh also gave clear instructions on what I needed to do next and everything was all done quickly. It was also very lovely to know that I could contact Leigh if I had any other concerns. Their professionalism and kindness is outstanding and I wanted to thank them both as I am truly grateful. Best wishes and kind regards

From the very first contact, explanation along with discussion, through to the signing of the document by all parties, the communication and overall experience was exceptional. Highly recommended and thank you once again.
