This service is requested to avoid breaches of employment law, correctly draft contract terms, comply with immigration and tax regulations, and reduce the risk of employment disputes.

Solicitors from the Consultant legal marketplace provide expert support at every stage of employment relations — from analysing the legal status of the parties to agreeing on employment terms in accordance with the Employment Rights Act 1996, Immigration Rules, and other regulations.
Proper Drafting of Employment Contracts in Accordance with UK Law
Drafting an employment contract is the first step toward legal employment. Breaching contract terms may result in fines, loss of visa status, or legal disputes.
Solicitor’s actions:
- Analysing the client’s immigration status and its impact on employment eligibility;
- Preparing the employment contract based on the role, duration, and working conditions;
- Verifying that contract provisions comply with legal requirements (e.g. minimum wage, working hours, breaks, paid leave);
- Providing written recommendations on the rights and obligations of both parties.

Outcome: the client receives a properly drafted employment contract that meets all UK legal requirements and ensures legal protection during work.
Legal Review of Worker Status and Advice on Employment Classification
In the UK, it is essential to correctly determine a worker’s status: employee, worker, or self-employed. This affects the rights and guarantees available to the individual, as well as the employer’s obligations.
Solicitor’s actions:
- Analysing the nature of the working relationship and duties to determine employment status;
- Advising on the benefits and risks of each classification (employee, worker, self-employed);
- Providing a legal opinion on the client’s status and assisting with status changes if needed.

Outcome: the client receives a substantiated legal position regarding their status and recommendations for changing or confirming it, reducing the risk of lost rights or tax misunderstandings.
Protecting the Rights of Parties When Entering or Terminating Employment
Disputes may arise during the signing, modification, or termination of an employment contract. Proper legal actions help avoid violations, fines, and litigation.
Solicitor’s actions:
- Reviewing the grounds for termination to ensure legal compliance;
- Supporting the dismissal process in line with notice and compensation rules;
- Advising on employee rights in cases of unfair dismissal or redundancy;
- Negotiating with the employer on termination terms.

Outcome: the client receives legally protected termination of employment with the possibility to restore rights or obtain compensation.
