Contracts

Our Expert Contract Solicitors

Other firms of solicitors, and accountancy firms, along with their partners and staff, recommend us to their clients. Unlike other firms, we act only for employees. We know the tactics used by employers and their contract lawyers in the development of employee contracts and consultancy agreements and we have the necessary experience and technical expertise to anticipate and successfully deal with any issues you may encounter.

Right from the start Russell Jones & Walker's expert contract lawyers can help you. We can carry out a review of the contract that is offered to you in your new job, provide you with a comprehensive understanding of what you are being asked to sign and assist in negotiating the best terms for you. We will make sure your employment contract meets all legal requirements, drafting the clauses of every aspect of your contract, including salary package, commission, profit sharing, bonus, share schemes and options, holiday allowance, health insurance, flexible working arrangements, working overseas, mobility, appropriate termination provisions and restrictive covenants.

Contract disputes can arise when a contract's interpretation is unclear, when an employer wishes to change the contract terms, or if an employment contract is jeopardised by unforeseen circumstances, such as the sale of a business. Where there has been a change of employer due to a business sale or transfer, your new employer might attempt to make changes contractual rights which are protected under specialist legislation. Whatever issue you have with your employment contract, our solicitors have the expertise to ensure that you are able to get the most out of your contractual rights.
