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 Rachael Scowcroft
I have known Rachael for well over 15 years, and when I was recently made redundant, she was the first person I turned to for guidance. Facing a settlement agreement from my employer was stressful and unfamiliar territory, but Rachael stepped in with exactly the support I needed. She assisted me with the legal aspects of the settlement, ensuring I fully understood my rights and the implications of every detail. On several occasions, I needed to call her for clarification or reassurance, and each time she was consistently professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. Rachael’s calm approach and expertise made a difficult situation far easier to navigate. Her support was invaluable, and she handled everything with the highest level of professionalism. Overall, Rachael is a credit to her profession — someone you can trust, rely on, and feel genuinely supported by during challenging times.
