A solicitor in this field assesses contracts, negotiates terms, reviews governing documentation, and represents clients in disputes arising from hiring or keeping employees, including tribunal or court steps where necessary.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The job hinges on making sound hiring decisions and protecting ongoing employment rights. A solicitor explains offer letters, conditional roles, notice periods, and restrictive covenants, and defends or enforces rights under the Equality Act 2010, the Employment Rights Act 1996, and related legislation. They ensure compliance, advise on risk, and coordinate with HR and regulators when disputes arise.
