Employment Contracts and Handbooks

Know what you’re signing. Protect your rights from day one.

Before you start a new job, or if your role is changing, it’s important to understand exactly what’s in your contract and what it means for you. We help individuals review employment contracts and workplace policies to make sure your rights are protected and your expectations are clear.

We’ll explain the fine print in plain English, so you can sign with confidence and avoid problems later on.

We advise employees and contractors on:

• Reviewing new employment contracts and offer letters.
• Explaining clauses around pay, bonuses, notice periods and restrictive covenants.
• Clarifying your rights under staff handbooks and workplace policies.
• Negotiating changes before you sign.
• Advising on updates to existing terms or responsibilities.
• Identifying risks in zero-hours, casual or consultancy arrangements.

We give you clear, practical advice so you know exactly where you stand.

• Experienced employment lawyers. We’ve supported clients across a wide range of sectors and seniorities.
• Clear, jargon-free advice. We explain your contract in plain English so you know exactly what to expect.
• Responsive and discreet. We act quickly when time is short and always respect your privacy.
• Trusted across Jersey. Whether it’s your first job or a board-level role, we help you start with confidence.

Your employment contract sets the tone for your working relationship. We’ll make sure the terms are fair, your rights are respected and nothing important has been overlooked. If anything needs to change, we’ll help you approach your employer with clarity and confidence.

Everything you share with us is treated with complete confidentiality and care.
