A typical employment contract can take many forms and can vary from a few written paragraphs to a lengthy document. Whatever the position, it is extremely important to ensure that your contract is properly drafted and deals with the various terms that, as a minimum, should be included as there can be sanctions for failure to provide a contract. As well as that, however, properly drafting your contracts at the outset may very well help to avoid costly and disruptive disputes at a later stage.

Whatever your needs, our employment team can help you with the preparation of your employment contracts, by drafting them or by reviewing and checking any existing documents.

Our team is experienced in drafting non competition clauses to protect your business’ needs, where a fine balance needs to be struck in terms of what restrictions are reasonable and would therefore be enforceable. We are happy to advise you in this respect and to consider your business needs carefully.
