    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.

    “I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you ”
