Wrongful Discharge
Since its founding in 1987, the firm has concentrated and excelled in employment litigation. Jurvneshservice has been at the forefront in the burgeoning area of employment law known as wrongful discharge. With the potential of multiple claims, pain and suffering and other damages, the firm counsels clients on the best strategies to minimize the risk of litigation and, when litigation does occur, defends retaliatory discharge, breach of contract, fraud and other claims falling within the wrongful discharge rubric. The firm’s attorneys closely follow the ever-changing developments in this complex area through hands-on counseling and litigation experience.

Collective Bargaining
The firm has extensive experience in successfully negotiating collective bargaining agreements on behalf of management with representatives of workers and employees. Depending upon the client’s wishes, firm attorneys serve as spokespersons at the bargaining table, as support members of the management bargaining team, or as off-site resources for counseling, preparation and drafting of contract language. Due to their wide-ranging experience, Jurvneshservice attorneys bring both legal and practical experience to the management side of the bargaining table.

Work permits for foreigners
In Ukraine it is permissible to employ a foreigner who holds a special permit for such employment. Ukrainian laws stipulate that the employer but not the employee should apply for a work permit. Jurvneshservice’s attorneys drafts all necessary documents to receive necessary permits or prolong it for the next term at the State Centre of Employment at the Ministry for Labor of Ukraine or at  its corresponding local center allover the Ukraine.
