Episode 3: Introduction to employment law for start-ups

In this episode we welcome guest Michelle Lamb, employment lawyer at Dentons, who joins us to look at some of the key employment law considerations for start-ups and their founders,  including:

• employment agreements between a start-up and its founders - yes, founders are employees too! - and its employees

• what should employment contracts look like and what should they cover?

• the legal status of directors and the key differences between executive directors, non-executive directors, and "advisory boards", and the arrangements a start-up should have in place with each

• what employment-related policies and procedures a start-up is required to have in place, and any other "nice to have" but not essential policies as the company grows

• what happens, and what to do, when a start-up wants to end an employment relationship.
