Contracts of employment - guidance on your bespoke documents

Contracts of Employment

Well drafted, clear, tailored contracts of employment, policies and procedures provide certainty in the employment relationship and reduce the potential for employment litigation. This is because employees are less likely to submit claims if their rights and obligations are defined from the outset.

Employees are less likely to submit claims if their rights and obligations are defined from the outset.
In the event of claims such as discrimination or dismissals for conduct that might involve for example inappropriate computer use, employers are more likely to be successful in defending litigation if relevant policies and procedures are in place and followed. In addition, all employees have a legal right to receive a written statement of their terms and conditions of employment.

Our specialist employment solicitors can produce readable, bespoke documents to define the employment relationships in your business. We can draft contracts for all employees ranging from junior staff, to those at a more senior level such as directors, where particular clauses may be necessary, for example, longer notice periods or restrictions on working for a competitor after the employment relationship has ended.

Our experienced employment lawyers can also draft your policies and procedures, including health and safety, maternity, or disciplinary and grievance procedures.

Our expert employment law team in Manchester has particular expertise in director's service agreements. Any business should identify and protect its interests and we are able to advise you in this critical task when drafting your employment documentation.

We are often able to carry out this work on a fixed fee basis giving you certainty of costs.
We also specialise in producing contracts for services and consultancy agreements.
