Contracts

Tailored legal advice for every stage of your organisation's journey.

Our team drafts, reviews, and advises on employment contracts and ancillary documents such as employee handbooks, ensuring they reflect current legal standards and your business’s needs.  We also assist our clients with contractual variations, non-contractual benefits provisions, the enforceability of restrictive covenants, and termination.

Our Expertise

A well-drafted employment contract is essential – it sets out the key terms of the employment relationship and the core responsibilities of both parties. At BCR, we specialise in drafting, reviewing, and advising on, Jersey law employment contracts.  As well as ensuring that these are legally compliant, our focus is on ensuring that it meets the practical commercial needs of your business or employment situation. We advise local people and businesses as well as international clients who fall within the scope of Jersey employment law.

Our Approach

For employers, we create tailored contracts that clearly set out roles, responsibilities, remuneration, notice periods, and other key terms.  We ensure your contracts are up to date, legally compliant, and reflective of best practice.  Our team also advises on specific provisions such as probation periods, restrictive covenants, confidentiality clauses, and post-termination obligations, helping our clients to safeguard their business interests

For employees, we offer clear, independent advice before you sign a new contract or if you are being asked to agree to changes within your contract.  We can de-jargon complex terms, assess the fairness of the agreement, and help you negotiate where needed.

We also assist with contractual variations, and settlement and termination provisions.  Whatever your position, our focus is on ensuring that your contract protects your rights, defines your obligations, and achieves your commercial priorities.
