Before signing an employment contract for a new job, many employees will consider having their contract reviewed by a lawyer to ensure it reflects the essence of any pre-contractual agreement with their future employer. For senior executives, it is vital to review the conditions of employment and negotiate a contract of employment as the contract is unlikely to be covered by an award or collective agreement. Seeking legal advice can ensure issues do not arise later on.

Our employment law experience and expertise include preparing and reviewing employment agreements and providing advice on non-compete and non-solicitation clauses. As a full-service commercial law firm, NetSheria’s employment team can review employment contracts to ensure they comply with the necessary laws.

An employment contract review not only reduces risk, but also provides certainty about the employment arrangement. For example, it is important to understand whether a restraint of trade or any restrictive covenants apply. Our employment lawyers have extensive experience acting for both employers and employees in the employment space and offer practical and effective advice.
