Contracts of Employment

Contracts of employment. Understanding your rights.

Your contract of employment shapes your working life. Whether you’re starting a new role or reviewing updated terms with your current employer, we’ll help you understand exactly what you’re signing.

Understanding your contract from the outset matters. From today’s working hours to post-employment restrictions that may apply in years to come, these terms will impact your future choices and opportunities. Our experienced employment lawyers will guide you through every clause, explaining what it means for you in practical terms before it’s too late.

We offer comprehensive support throughout the contract review process. Our team will examine your contract in detail and explain its real-world implications, while identifying areas where terms could be negotiated to better protect your interests. If you prefer, we can handle all discussions with your employer directly on your behalf, ensuring your position is professionally represented.

Many people only discover the full impact of their contract terms, such as restrictions on future employment for competitors, when it’s too late to make changes. We’ll help you avoid this by giving you clear, practical advice from the start.
