Contracts and special clauses

At Ayuela Jiménez, we provide legal advice during the negotiation, drafting, and formalisation of contracts and special clauses. Your company will not face legal risks, and its commercial interests will remain protected at all times.

Custom labour contracts

With well-drafted labour contracts, you can ensure that the agreements between the employer and employee are fulfilled, setting out the working conditions, salary, hours, and other obligations. It is a way to prevent problems or misunderstandings, specifying the responsibilities of both parties and the consequences for those who fail to meet the agreed terms.

We handle the negotiation, drafting, and formalisation of all types of labour contracts in accordance with the law, as well as special clauses linked to them, tailored to the needs of your business. Whether it’s a full-time, temporary, remote, or any other type of employment relationship, we ensure that it is fair and legal.

Legal advice on contracts and special clauses

At Ayuela Jiménez, we have extensive experience providing tailored solutions related to employment law. Our lawyers dedicate the necessary time to understand each situation and the goals pursued to design labour contracts and special clauses that comply with the law or adapt to any changes within the company.

Additional protection with specific clauses

In any labour contract, special clauses can be added to address specific needs or anticipate potential unforeseen issues. These clauses must be well drafted and clear to avoid confusion or legal loopholes. Some of the most common clauses are non-compete clauses, which aim to protect confidential information and prevent unfair business practices, and exclusivity or permanence clauses, which ensure a stable contractual relationship for a defined period.

There are also conflict resolution clauses, which set out protocols for resolving potential disputes without the need to go to court, and penalty clauses that specify sanctions or consequences for one party if they fail to meet the obligations established in the contract. Each of these clauses offers security.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a labour contract be modified after signing?

Yes, the clauses of a labour contract can be modified as long as both parties, the employer and the employee, agree. The changes must be reflected in writing and signed again.

What special clauses can be included in a labour contract?

A labour contract can include special clauses such as non-compete, exclusivity, confidentiality, pensions, and performance bonuses, among others, depending on the company’s needs.

Can a non-compete clause have no limitations?

No, a non-compete clause must be specific in terms of time, geographic area, and type of activity. If the clause is too restrictive, it could be deemed illegal in court.

How does the labour contract affect overtime?

The labour contract should specify whether overtime is allowed, the payment that corresponds to those hours, and the conditions under which the employee may be asked to work beyond their regular working hours.
