We support our clients at every stage of the employment cycle and help them create and sustain healthy workplaces where their people can thrive.

At Justitia, you will be advising employer clients in a wide range of industries, including public sector, local government and education. If you are a Senior Associate, you will also be involved in supervising and reviewing the work of your junior colleagues.

* Litigation and alternative dispute resolution
* Familiarity with advising employers across a variety of sectors
* Enterprise agreement‐making processes and disputation procedures

If you join our team, you can expect to be mentored and supported in order to thrive.
