A new partner & team co-head for the West End law firm

West End London law firm Joelson is bolstering its employment practice with the hire of Jonathan Bruck as partner and co-head of the team.

Jonathan brings with him more than two decades of employment experience, having regularly advised national corporate clients, larger SMEs and charities on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment matters. He also advises individuals at the senior executive and board levels.

Jonathan works with clients across a range of sectors, including leisure, hospitality and technology. Together with employment partner Jennifer Maxwell-Harris, who has been at Joelson since 2007, Jonathan will head up the firm’s employment practice.

Founded in 1956, Joelson offers legal services such as employment and immigration, corporate, property and litigation.

Phil Hails-Smith, managing partner at Joelson, said: ‘We are delighted that Jonathan is joining our employment team as a partner and co-head of the team. The employment team at Joelson has gone from strength to strength over the last few years. Their growth as a team reflects the exceptional standard of service they provide and feedback they receive from clients. Jonathan’s joining reflects the firm’s continued ambition and ability to attract top clients.’

Jonathan said of his appointment: ‘This is such an exciting time to join Joelson. I am pleased to be starting a new chapter in my career at a dynamic and forward-thinking firm that puts its people, planet and profit on an equal footing. The Joelson employment team is already very strong and I look forward to supporting its continued growth going forward.’
