Most employers don’t find out their employment paperwork is inadequate until something goes wrong – a grievance, a redundancy that didn’t go smoothly, a dismissal that unravelled because the process wasn’t followed correctly. By that point, the question has already changed from ‘are our contracts up to date?’ to ‘how exposed are we?’ We help employers get the foundations right before that question needs to be asked.
We help businesses of all sizes get the right documents in place before they need them.
Employment contracts that are legally sound and reflect how your business actually operates. We draft, review, and update:
For NDAs and consultancy agreements, see our Contracts page.
Workplace policies set clear expectations and help businesses operate smoothly. We create:
For ongoing HR support, see our Retainers page.
If your contracts and policies haven’t been reviewed since the Employment Rights Act 2025 changes came into force, there’s a reasonable chance they need updating.
Book a £50 consultation, and we’ll tell you exactly what needs updating and what doesn’t.

Employers must provide a written statement of terms on or before an employee or worker’s first day. A well-drafted contract sets clear expectations, helps prevent disputes, and protects your business.
You can, but templates are rarely compliant with current legislation and almost never reflect how your business actually operates. A poorly drafted employment contract can leave you exposed to claims – often in ways you won’t realise until it’s too late.
Employment law changes regularly. The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduced significant changes that came into force from April 2026. If your contracts and policies haven’t been reviewed since then, there’s a reasonable chance they need updating. Book a £50 consultation and we’ll tell you what needs to change and what doesn’t.
Having a team you can call when something comes up, without the cost of an in-house hire, means you deal with HR and employment issues properly from the start rather than hoping they resolve themselves. Our retainer packages are built around exactly that.
Yes. We offer one-off advice and document drafting on a fixed-fee basis where possible, as well as our pay-as-you-go starter package – 3 hours for £595, valid for 6 months. For regular support, our retainer packages give you access to the team for a fixed monthly fee.
Amazing service helping me with a few things in our business. Rachael has been fantastic and provided a very personal service, and when speaking, has always used simple terms to help me understand terminology etc. If you need legal help, I would highly recommend you speak to the team at McKenzie Legal & HR!”
