Employment Contracts and Policies

While creating well-drafted contracts may seem tedious, expert insight guarantees solid agreements that govern your employment relationships effectively. Barnes Law invests the time to understand your business thoroughly, ensuring your contracts clearly define the rights and responsibilities of all parties.

Inadequate policies can leave your organisation vulnerable and fail to meet business objectives. At Barnes Law, we specialise in drafting and reviewing comprehensive employment documentation to ensure your contracts are precise and customised for your organisation, safeguarding relationships

from the outset of employment. This proactive approach helps prevent future disputes and minimises financial risk.

When an employee leaves your organisation, whether on good terms or under challenging circumstances, we can assist in negotiating settlement arrangements. Our goal is to ensure an orderly exit and provide maximum protection against future litigation, allowing you to maintain focus on your core business priorities.

Employment law is evolving, with the growing focus on AI, workplace well-being, and reputational management. At Barnes Law, we ensure your policies align with these changes and meet your business objectives.

Staff handbooks are bespoke manuals designed to guide your employees, outlining your business’ objectives, procedures, expectations and, crucially, its culture. They encompass diverse areas such as performance management, annual leave, workplace relationships, IT and social media use, flexible working, and retirement.

Well-drafted staff handbooks provide essential protection from both HR and risk management perspectives.

Barnes Law specialises in crafting tailored staff handbooks across various industries, offering the flexibility your business needs to effectively manage your team in alignment with your goals. We proactively update our clients on new policies and amendments to keep their businesses compliant with statutory changes.
