Employment contracts

Whether you are switching jobs and need a review of your new employment contract or are looking for advice on your current terms, our employment solicitors can help you.

Too often employees only read the details in their contract when they are about to leave their employer, but by then it is difficult to re-negotiate. When offered a new role, always check every term of your new contract before you sign. Some of the terms may have implications for you should you decide to leave your employment such as those relating to notice, gardening leave, restrictive covenants and bonuses. 

Contracts are open to negotiation before signing and our solicitors can help you negotiate better terms. We will guide you through your new employment contract and explain the provisions. It may be necessary to raise matters with your prospective employer and negotiate on certain points and we can assist you with those discussions.

If you have concerns about your existing employment contract, perhaps because you are contemplating resigning, we can assist you in planning or negotiating an exit.
