Business owners know that locking down top talent is critical for the success of any business. Well thought out and well-drafted employment contracts can keep the employee happy and the employer safe. Protecting trade secrets and putting in place the proper non-competition and non-solicitation provisions can provide clarity for both employer and employee. With clarity comes less room for employment disputes.
We have successfully helped many business owners create legally sound employment agreements. As an employer you will not regret setting aside time to ensure that your business utilizes well-written employment contracts. LE can help you write an employment agreement that meets your needs and goals as an employer.
Hiring and firing decisions are difficult and inevitable. We always advise our clients that feelings will get hurt, but lawsuits are preventable.
LE provide advice you don’t need to go down the hazardous path of employment disputes, when terminating the employment of your employees. Due to the effects of COVID-19 on the economy both locally and globally business owners have been forced to down size their staff. We work alongside our clients to ensure that such redundancies are legally and properly affected.
Does your company hire independent contractors to conduct work on behalf of your client? If so your company should have a unique consultancy agreement to use when hiring independent contractors. The relationship between an employer and an independent contractor is different. An independent contractor is a self-employed person who provides services or goods on a contractual basis.
LE can help you draft a Consultancy agreement if you are taking on an independent contractor.
As an employee when you are hired or shortly thereafter, you are asked to sign an employment contract with your new employer. This agreement is critical as will detail the terms of your employment such as your job description and your compensation.
It will also likely govern what you can do and can’t do after you leave that employer, via non-compete, non-solicit, and confidentiality provisions. While you might think these provisions non-negotiable, it is crucial to remember that you have leverage: the employer wants to hire you. Accordingly, it is strongly advisable to ask a lawyer to review this agreement before you sign it.
