A permanent contract covers the terms and ongoing obligations of a worker who is employed long term, typically under a contract of employment with a set role, wages and benefits. A solicitor in this area reviews, drafts and negotiates the full contract and any accompanying policies, such as pay, notice, holiday, disciplinary and grievance procedures, restrictive covenants, and redundancy terms. They also handle changes to terms, TUPE transfers, and enforceability of post-employment restrictions, ensuring the arrangement remains compliant with employment law and supported by clear, practical protections for the client and their position.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The stakes lie in irreversible steps or significant consequences from terms that affect pay, job security and career prospects. A solicitor provides protection through clear drafting, proper notice provisions, enforceable restrictive covenants where appropriate, and compliant handling of changes in terms, to prevent disputes or unfair treatment.
