Employment Law - Employers
Pragmatic, commercial employment advice for employers
At Jurit, we understand that at the heart of every successful business is its people.
We also appreciate that maintaining a balanced relationship with your employees can be challenging.
Managing employment law matters effectively can make the difference between achieving your business objectives and suffering reputational or financial damage.
Our team of experienced employment lawyers provides commercial, client-focused advice to employers, owner-managers and HR Directors, to mitigate risk and resolve employment law disputes.
We work with a variety of businesses, from international corporations to many established small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and owner-managers who may not necessarily have in-house HR / employment law provision, allowing them to get back to what they do best – running their business.
Our people, your team
Lawyers have talked about providing ‘trusted legal advice’ for years – and there is a reason for that.
Businesses come to Jurit, because they know they can trust in our experience and the relationships we build with clients, which is core to our ability to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Having worked at global law firms acting for big-brand employers, as in-house counsel for a multi-national corporation, as well as acting for many senior business executives, there is very little that our employment lawyers have not seen.
This helps us to get to the heart of the problem you face quickly, to provide a solution which is founded on in-depth experience, whilst being tailored for the environment in which you operate.
How we help
Working closely with you, our team of experienced partner-level lawyers will invest time in getting to know your business and culture, the challenges you may face, as well as what you want to achieve.
From there, we will provide flexible, tailored employment advice to meet your needs, from contracts, policies and procedures, to restructuring, dealing with allegations of discrimination and termination of employment.

Our clients
I have had the pleasure of working with Adrian for several years, he has consistently delivered on a variety of complex / challenging cases; unfailingly providing clear, concise, timely and sound advice – we haven’t lost one yet! His personable approach, impressive expertise and solid commercial acumen make him my trusted go to, hopefully for many years ahead. I therefore HIGHLY recommend Jurit to any business or individual seeking expert counsel – thank you for such stellar service!
Tina Bulzis - HR Director
I often talk about product range architecture in terms of GOOD; BETTER; BEST…..but it’s not often you get the BEST at GOOD prices! I ‘followed’ my ‘go to’ Jurit partner out of a magic circle employment law firm to Jurit. Quite honestly, I would have followed him anywhere, but to have great service, sage advice and wise counsel, 24 x7 and at affordable prices has to be good. I now recommend Jurit to all my clients in the knowledge that they too will get the same great service that I do. The model for the future!
