Agreements
to protect you & your business

Share this page

All employees must have an employment contract with their employer. From the 1st April 2020 all workers must have a contract also. The contract must be provided by the employer from the first day of employment.

A contract is an agreement that sets out an employee’s:

  • employment conditions
  • rights
  • responsibilities
  • duties

These are called the ‘terms’ of the contract.

Protect your business by ensuring that your contracts deal with things like intellectual property, confidentiality, restrictions on termination of employment and so on.

Our Fees

Our fees vary depending on your circumstances and your needs. 

Fixed Fee

Where our clients need advice or support we prefer to charge a fixed fee so as to give our clients the peace of mind. We have a fixed price solutions for certain services.

Retainer

Where you need ongoing support, we find that the best fee arrangement is a retainer, whereby for an agreed monthly fee you have access to unlimited legal advice and support.

Time Charges

Where the circumstances are unpredictable and it is unclear how long it will take for us to deal with the matter, we then may offer you a time based fee arrangement, whereby we charge you for the worked carried out at an agreed hourly rate.

Given our business model, we are able to offer our clients an extremely competitive hourly rate of £150 per hour.

Capped Fees

Where we charge you for the services at an hourly rate, we may also offer to cap your fees. i.e. whereby you can spend less, but never more than an agreed amount.

Flexible and Transparent

Whatever the fee arrangement, we pride ourselves in being flexible and transparent with our fees  and these will always be agreed from the onset so there are no hidden surprises.
