Gone are the days when a director's service contract merely reflected the "deal" for the employment. Today a company is under a statutory obligation to provide written terms of employment to a director, as to any other employee. Of course it is advantageous to both sides to set down the employent package in a contract, rather than a few words from the company.

These documents have been drawn for providing critical protection for the board and the company. Some of these provisions may be required to comply with the law. The explanatory notes, which come with these documents, will guide you as to the importance of specific issues.

Some directors' employment deals are complicated by company-specific bonus or other schemes. Clearly, we are unable to cover all eventualities that you may dream up. We can however, provide expert advice on your own individual scheme and draft the appropriate provisions. Please see http://www.netlawman.co.uk/info/employment-law.php for further details
