Can employment contracts be notarized in Canary Wharf?

Normally, an employment contract is perfectly legal, which makes its notarization not necessary. However, there are also cases where employment contracts determined for one year can be legalized.

The signature of an individual found on such an employment contract is notarized to be able to make the necessary checks and provide authenticity. On the other hand, it is a guarantee that the employment contract in question was not signed by someone else without the right to do so.
