Contracts & Handbooks

Paperwork that protects you, and people actually read.

Template contracts copied from the internet contradict your handbook, miss day-one requirements, and fall apart the first time you rely on them. Your paperwork should match how your business actually runs.

What's included

  • Employment contracts drafted or reviewed, day-one compliant
  • Staff handbooks in plain English your team will actually read
  • Policies matched to your real practice, not aspirational fiction
  • Probation, notice, restrictive covenant and flexibility clauses done properly
  • Annual update check-ins so documents never go stale

Where retainer firms fall short

  • One-size templates that contradict each other
  • Legalese nobody reads until it's too late
  • Updates you pay for but never receive
  • Documents that crumble under scrutiny

How it runs

The process, in four moves

01

We read what you have

A blunt audit of your current contracts and handbook. What protects you and what doesn't.

02

We learn how you work

Hours, remote patterns, overtime reality, the documents must match the practice.

03

We draft in plain English

Compliant, tailored, readable. No filler clauses copied from a law firm's attic.

04

We roll it out with you

Including the consultation and communication side, where changes need it.

If this matter turns legal, for example a claim, a contentious dismissal or a discrimination allegation, we can introduce you to Bonsai Law, an SRA-regulated law firm, or hand everything over to any solicitor you choose, with your consent. You never pay lawyer rates for HR work, or HR rates for legal work.
