We are hiring - Partner, Commercial Property
Are you an experienced partner specialising in commercial property / real estate?
Do you want to leave the rat race to work on your own terms?
Then Jurit LLP could be the place for you.
We are offering the unique opportunity to inherit a successful, high-quality Commercial Property practice due to an impending retirement.

Jurit LLP is a virtual law firm whose lawyers operate on an entirely remote basis.
A Legal 500 ‘One to Watch’ (2024) firm, we are made up of a team of over 40 people based across the UK – many of whom are lawyers who have come from Top 20 or Magic Circle firms or were in-house counsel at FTSE 100 companies.

At Jurit, we all share common ambitions and values, and a focus on delivering expert insight and outstanding client service, with an appreciation that work is just one aspect of life.
