This work covers disputes and drafting for senior executives under English employment law, including high‑level contract terms, bonus and incentive schemes, restrictive covenants, breach of contract, and potential unfair dismissal or constructive dismissal claims. A solicitor practises by drafting or reviewing complex senior‑level contracts, negotiating severance and garden‑leave arrangements, advising on non‑compete and non‑poach clauses, and representing the client in Employment Tribunals or courts if disputes arise over pay, duties, or dismissal. The process is shaped by statutory protections, case law, and the available remedies in tribunals and the courts.
Where a solicitor protects your position
In these matters, it is crucial to meet strict deadlines for tribunals and court applications, and to secure enforceable terms around bonuses, restrictive covenants, and compensation. A solicitor protects the client’s position by ensuring compliant handling of notices, settlements, and grievances, and by navigating the interplay between contract terms and statutory rights, including potential appeals where applicable.
