Employment Contracts and Policies for Employers

Expert legal support for employers across London and the South East – tailored employment contracts and policies that work for your business.

Practical, compliant employment contracts and policies for employers.

Contracts and policies are the backbone of any employment relationship. Done well, they provide clarity, reduce risk and support a healthy workplace culture. Done badly, they create confusion and increase the likelihood of disputes.

At Thomas Mansfield Solicitors, we help employers put the right documentation in place – not just to comply with the law, but to support strategic business objectives.
Our employment law team is trusted by national and international businesses, HR leaders and senior executives across London and the South East. We’re known for our clear advice, practical solutions and responsive service.

Employment contracts that match the way you work

Whether you’re a UK-based business, a growing organisation with overseas interests or an HR team managing large-scale operations, we tailor employment contracts to reflect how you hire, lead and protect your workforce.

We draft and review:

  • Contracts for employees at all levels, including senior executives.
  • Consultancy and contractor agreements.
  • Fixed-term and zero-hours contracts.
  • Executive service agreements and board-level terms.
  • Post-termination restrictions and confidentiality clauses.
  • Employment documentation for UK subsidiaries of overseas companies.

We’ll make sure your contracts are both legally compliant and commercially sensible – clear for employees and practical for your managers to use.
