A director service agreement and an employment contract may seem quite similar, as both outline the responsibilities and rules for the individual. However, a standard employment contract is typically used for junior employees or a template agreement and might not cover the specific details needed for the role of company directors and senior employees.
Therefore, it is crucial to consult an employment solicitor for specially drafted or updated contracts.
In a director’s relationship with a business, various aspects come into play. A director can wear multiple hats – they may serve as an employee, a shareholder, and, distinctly, as a director with unique obligations and responsibilities within the company.
Delineating these roles in the contract governing the relationship simplifies setting boundaries. This separation helps establish clarity, making it easier to handle disagreements in the future.
A well-crafted service agreement provides explicit guidance on handling disputes, reducing the likelihood of disagreements due to the detailed information in the document.
Whether drafting an employment contract for a senior employee or a director service agreement, seeking tailored advice from an employment solicitor is the best approach to protect your business effectively. Our expertise ensures that the agreements are comprehensive, covering the specific needs and nuances of a director’s role within the company.

A director and senior employee service contract is a legally binding agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of employment for individuals in leadership positions within a company. These contracts are essential for clarifying roles, responsibilities, and expectations, as well as safeguarding the interests of both the employer and the employee.
While a standard employment contract may cover general terms for junior employees, a director service contract is specifically tailored to address the unique roles and responsibilities of directors and senior employees. These contracts typically include provisions related to corporate governance, fiduciary duties, compensation, and confidentiality, among other critical aspects.
Seeking legal advice from experienced employment solicitors ensures that your contract is comprehensive, legally enforceable, and aligned with your specific needs and objectives. Our solicitors can provide personalised guidance, assist in negotiating favourable terms, and help you navigate any legal complexities associated with director and senior employee agreements.
