Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers drafting and negotiating new employment contracts and terms of employment for individuals joining a business or moving roles, including pay, hours, holidays, notice, and restrictive covenants. A solicitor in this field drafts the contract, reviews proposed changes, and advises on the implications of clause wording for pay, benefits, probation, garden leave, and dismissal provisions. They also help ensure compliance with national employment law, minimum standards, and equalities requirements, and handle any related documents such as new-hire handbooks or addenda.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The contract sets binding duties, pay, leave, notice periods and any post-termination restrictions. A solicitor's role includes ensuring enforceable terms, identifying potential risks (such as restrictive covenants or fair redundancy triggers), and advising on protections under employment law and contract law, including safeguards for fixed-term or zero-hours arrangements and the protection of staff rights under relevant legislation.

Michael Horne

Tagged solicitor Michael Horne

Michael Horne has been absolutely exceptional supporting me with my recent employment matter. From the initial call (on a Saturday) Michael was supportive and reassuring. He met me just hours later to provide me with clear and straightforward advice. After spending 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon with Michael, for the first time in a month I felt reassured, supported and had a clear plan of action. Michael ensured my matter was dealt with professionally and swiftly throughout and he was very reasonable and fair with pricing. Michael gave me a rough estimate when we first met and the total was actually less. I would recommend Michael and Kidwells to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to instruct him should the need arise in future. Thank you Michael and Kidwells team, I will forever be grateful for your support in one of the most stressful times of my life. 5*
