Summary
Jurit was appointed by RHE Global, a software / training business which delivers better public health and social outcomes through the development and use of innovative technologies, to provide a range of legal services on a call-off basis.
RHE Global worked predominantly, but not exclusively, with local authorities to deliver innovative technological solutions to support public protection, whilst delivering efficiency savings.
One such technology included a sound application designed to measure antisocial noise, to enable Environmental Health Officers to evaluate the size and nature of the problem they are assessing, remotely.
Challenge
A small to medium sized enterprise, RHE Global required a broad range of legal support to protect the business and its technologies as they developed and the business grew – from advice on operational contracts and legal dispute resolution, to wider commercial advice to support the development of the business.
How we helped
We supported RHE Global with expert legal advice in relation to the following:
- Advice on accessibility regulations
- Advice on sub-contracts and consultancy agreements and associated confidentiality

- Review of Software Distribution Agreement
Result
- Working alongside RHE Global for several years, we have ensured that any potential disruption to their important long-term relationships, especially with their public sector clients, has been kept to a minimum
- This has allowed RHE Global to continue to focus on their business and protect their reputation and revenue as they continue to grow.
