Employment contract lawyers in London – Expert legal advice on employment contracts for employees

Your employment contract forms the legal foundation of your working relationship. Our employment contract lawyers for employees in London have extensive experience in assisting individuals who face contract-related challenges.

We offer personalised support to help you fully understand your rights and obligations, ensuring you’re always protected, and can assist you with:

Reviewing a new employment contract before you sign

When we review your new employment contract, we carefully identify clauses that could negatively impact your rights, such as overly restrictive non-compete clauses or ambiguous job descriptions.

Negotiating improved contract terms

Negotiating improved contract terms includes negotiating with your employer to achieve such things as an enhanced salary package, more favourable working hours, flexible working arrangements, or clearer bonus structures.

Advice on restrictive covenants and confidentiality clauses

We ensure restrictive covenants, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are reasonable and don’t unnecessarily restrict your career opportunities post-employment.

Guidance on bonus, salary, and benefit disputes

We advocate robustly on your behalf to ensure your employer honours agreed terms, including bonuses, performance-related pay or accrued holiday entitlement.
