    The Experts in Employment Law matters

    Our employment law experts are here to help you create bespoke contracts of employment and employee handbooks to ensure that you and your business are compliant, and that you establish and communicate clear policies and procedures to your employees.

    A bespoke service, tailored to you

    The foundation of any employer and employee relationship are contracts and handbooks. Your assigned expert from our team will undertake an initial audit of your current documentation and any policies you may have in place. If necessary, we can either amend these or draft new, bespoke contracts to fit your requirements.

    Our experts have created hundreds of bespoke contracts of employment and employee handbooks to suit all types of businesses, whether they be family-owned small businesses requiring only a handful of policies and contracts, or larger clients who will need multiple bespoke contracts drafting and require a complex handbook to account for every eventuality.

    We ensure that not only are you and your employees protected and compliant, but that they are tailored to best suit the needs of your business.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why your employee handbooks might need updating

    As society changes and both legislation and the social climate adjust, you equally need to be adapting your contracts and handbooks. For example, flexible working and working from home have become things of the present and future – your employee handbooks need to reflect this by detailing how flexible working and working from home is managed in your company. Your allowed tolerances and scope needs to be continually examined to fit with the times.

    Many companies’ employee handbooks can quickly become outdated if not reviewed regularly, which means that important policies are being overlooked or are no longer compliant with changes in the law.

    To avoid any complications or misunderstandings, our experts can review, update and create concise, clear and compliant employee handbooks specifically for you and your business. Our dedicated team will provide you with the necessary advice to help you with a view to developing a smooth, hassle and stress-free environment, allowing employees the time to focus on their roles and enable you to focus on the bigger demands of the business.

    What happens next?

    The Employment Team understands that the needs of each client and the delivery of their work and management styles may differ. Therefore, we make time to get to know each individual, in order to understand and build a positive relationship and rapport.

    Oakwood Solicitors emphasises the importance of having an initial consultation with all key stakeholders to get to know them and their needs and goals for the business, ideally before undertaking any legal work.

    This initial consultation allows us to really understand how our business clients operate.
