We present the evaluation of the complete set of NLO corrections to three-jet production at the LHC. To this end we consider all contributions of 
with 
and 
. This includes in particular also subleading Born contributions of electroweak origin, as well as electroweak virtual and QED real-radiative corrections. As an application we present results for the three- over two-jet ratio 
. While the impact of non-QCD corrections on the total cross section is rather small, they can exceed 
for high jet transverse momenta. The observable turns out to be very stable against electroweak corrections, receiving absolute corrections below 
even in the high-
region.
