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.
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.

Tagged solicitor Ralph McCran
I initially contacted Malcolm, Jack & Matheson to provide advice on a settlement agreement, following a lengthy period of employment. Ralph was quick to schedule an appointment for me, and went over the proposed settlement with me in detail, explaining the legalese, and raising a number of concerns he had with the draft I'd been sent. He then proactively chased those areas of concern and poor drafting up with my employer and got everything resolved efficiently and with minimal drama. While I'd hope not to need their services for that reason again any time soon, I'd not hesitate to contact them again if it came up.

Tagged solicitor Pamela Mary Rose McColl
Following a surprise meeting with my employer I was left feeling confused & unsure of my rights. Pam was recommended by a colleague. Immediately Pam met with me & put me at ease regarding the correct process & my rights. Within a few days Pam had everything settled & I was able to carry on.
