Employment Agreements. Done right.

Since April 2020 every worker - employees and most contractors - must receive a written Section 1 statement on or before their first day. It has to cover pay, hours, holiday, place of work, notice, sick pay, training, and probation. Missing it exposes you to tribunal awards of two to four weeks' pay per worker on top of any underlying claim. We draft contracts and statements that satisfy Section 1 in a single document.

UK courts only enforce restrictive covenants that protect a legitimate business interest and go no further than reasonably necessary. Blanket 12-month non-competes routinely fail; tightly scoped non-solicitation of clients you actually serviced, for 6 months, almost always holds. We draft covenants that survive scrutiny rather than collapse the moment they are tested.

Yes. Standard office contracts do not address right-to-work for overseas remote staff, expenses for home workers, equipment ownership, data protection at home, working hours across time zones, or the new right to request flexible working from day one. Our remote and hybrid templates handle all of these so you are not relying on goodwill when something goes wrong.

A standard employment contract drafted from your role brief is delivered within 48 hours and is covered inside the £199 Premium Plus monthly plan at no extra cost. Bespoke senior or director-level contracts with bonus, share, and bespoke restrictive covenants take a week and are quoted per matter.

UK employment law moves every April and frequently mid-year. We track changes from the Employment Rights Bill, working time updates, family leave reforms, and tribunal case law, and reissue refreshed templates to active clients automatically - you do not have to ask. Existing contracts only need updating where the change is retrospective, which we flag individually.
