I own a UK-based performing arts academy. We engage 11 teachers on a freelance, self-employed basis.
We have drafted a 2-page "Contract for Services" designed to protect the business from HMRC Employment Status risks (specifically focusing on Right of Substitution and lack of Mutuality of Obligation).
I need a qualified UK Solicitor to review this template, ensure it is legally robust under current UK law, and make any necessary amendments to ensure maximum protection against claims of disguised employment.
Requirements:
Must be a qualified UK Solicitor (please provide your SRA number or equivalent credentials).
Extensive experience in UK Employment Law, IR35, and general commercial contracts.
Contract duration of less than 1 month. with 30 hours per week.
Mandatory skills: Contract Law, Employment Law
