The importance of choosing an experience contract specialist
We see a lot of employment contracts that are vague, ambiguous and poorly drafted, sometimes downloaded from the internet or produced by inexperienced professionals. This has then resulted in complex and stressful situations for businesses that could have been avoided.
While taking shortcuts in the drafting of contracts may seem like a cheap and easy option, especially if your business is just starting out, a lot of these contracts do not cover essential matters.
Ensuring that your contracts are right from the start can avoid expensive disputes with employees in the future.
We can draft bespoke documents covering:
- Contracts of employment
- Grievance procedures
- Disciplinary policies
- Training agreements
- IT and social media policies
- Deductions from pay clauses
- Settlement agreements
- Non-disclosure/confidentiality/restraint of trade agreements
We will consult with you to ensure that the contract is tailored for your business and covers all the essential areas, safeguarding your business for the future.
Expert Legal Advice and Litigation Support
Employees are free to make a claim to an Employment Tribunal, which can present considerable challenges for a business.
Challenges of legal action for businesses:
- Financial liability
- Reputational risk
- Inconvenience and time costs
- Unnecessary stress
Our expert team has the experience and knowledge necessary to help you resolve your dispute in the most favourable way possible.
The first step of any dispute is to see if it can be resolved informally. This may be through an employer's grievance procedure or with the help of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS), which offers a free Early Conciliation Service (ECS).
However, sometimes alternative dispute resolution is not always possible and expert advice is vital in order to achieve a successful outcome.
Our fees vary depending upon the issues involved. For further information, please submit your details using our contact form and a member of our team will contact you for a free initial consultation.
