Your employment contract is one of the most important documents in your working life. It sets out your rights, responsibilities, and the terms under which you are employed. We understand that reviewing or negotiating a contract can feel confusing or even intimidating – especially when legal jargon or restrictive clauses are involved.
At TWM Solicitors, we’re here to provide clear, practical advice to help you understand your contract fully – whether you’re starting a new role, facing changes to your terms, or dealing with a contractual dispute.
How we can help
Our Employment Law team advises on a wide range of contract-related issues, including:
- Reviewing new employment contracts before you sign
- Contract terms, including pay, benefits, working hours, and notice periods
- Negotiating amendments to unfavourable or unclear clauses
- Restrictive covenants, such as non-compete or non-solicitation clauses
- Assessing post-termination obligations and your rights after leaving employment
- Resolving disputes over contract breaches or changes to your terms.
Whether you’re joining a new employer or facing changes in your current role, we ensure you fully understand your contract and help protect your interests.
Why legal advice matters
Employment contracts often contain complex legal terminology and obligations that may not be immediately clear. Without proper advice, you could unknowingly agree to terms that limit your future career options or affect your financial rights.
Our solicitors will:
- Break down the legal jargon
- Highlight any risks or unusual clauses
- Advise you on your options and negotiating position
- Help you make informed decisions before signing or responding to changes.
Common contract issues we advise on
- Unclear or unfair bonus schemes
- Changes to working hours or location
- Variation clauses and what they mean for your job security
- Probation periods and termination rights
- Intellectual property and confidentiality clauses
- Garden leave and notice provisions.
If you’re unsure about any aspect of your employment contract, we’re here to help.
