Employment Agreements and Contracts

All employment arrangements require a legal document to record the details of what is agreed by the parties.  While this can often be relatively straightforward, making sure employment agreements reflect the organisation and specific role can take some care.

At McCaw Lewis, we provide expert legal advice on employment agreements and contracts, establishing clear and compliant working relationships.  Our Workplace Law team is experienced in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating employment agreements that are fit-for-purpose, protect your interests, and meet all legal requirements.

We assist employers in creating tailored contracts for permanent, fixed-term, and casual staff, ensuring compliance with the Employment Relations Act and other relevant legislation.  For employees, we offer advice on contract terms, helping you understand your rights and obligations before signing.  We can advise on bespoke clauses, including around restraint of trade, confidentiality and remuneration arrangements.

Where it is helpful, we can also assist with reviewing your policies and internal practices to ensure all employment documentation works seamlessly within your organisation.

Our lawyers also support clients with independent contractor agreements, related shareholder agreements, and workplace policies.  Contact our Workplace Law Team for support or advice on any matter.
