What this usually involves

Written particulars are a day-one right. Beyond compliance, well-drafted contracts protect confidential information and customer relationships when people leave.

  • Section 1 statements and contract suites by role
  • Handbook policies, including disciplinary and grievance
  • Restrictive covenants and confidentiality

Common questions

Are non-compete clauses enforceable?
Only where they go no further than necessary to protect a legitimate business interest; overly wide covenants fail entirely.
Should policies be contractual?
Usually not - keeping policies non-contractual makes them easier to update.
