Jurit lawyer Jo Summers recognised in Chambers High Net Worth Guide

Jurit LLP has secured recognition in the latest Chambers High Net Worth Guide, with Partner and Head of Private Wealth & Tax, Jo Summers, ranked in the Private Wealth Law category.

The rankings mark an important milestone for Jurit, reflecting the continued growth of its Private Wealth & Tax practice following the firm’s merger with PWT Private Client in 2021 and its sustained investment in building one of the UK’s leading boutique private wealth teams.

Jo was ranked based on an independent and in-depth market analysis, coupled with an assessment of her experience, expertise and calibre of talent, standing out for her exceptional work in the area of private wealth.

This individual ranking recognises more than 25 years of advising high-net-worth individuals, families, trustees and business owners on complex personal tax, succession planning and cross-border wealth matters. An authority in her field, Jo regularly advises on wills, trusts, inheritance tax planning, probate, philanthropy and international estate planning.

Robert Marcus, Founder of Jurit, said:

“I’d like to take the opportunity to congratulate Jo on this recognition which is a tremendous achievement. Jo has built an outstanding reputation over many years as one of the country’s leading private client lawyers, combining exceptional technical expertise with a practical, commercial and highly personal approach to advising clients.”

Anthony Garrod, Founding Partner, added:

“Being recognised by Chambers is particularly meaningful because it reflects the views of clients and professional peers. It is also an important endorsement of the investment we have made in growing our private wealth practice since bringing PWT Private Client into Jurit.”

Alongside her legal practice, Jo is widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading commentators on private client issues. She is regularly quoted by national media including The Times, Financial Times and the BBC, has given evidence to Parliament’s Justice Committee on probate delays, lectures internationally and has authored several respected publications on international estate planning and taxation.

Speaking of the ranking, Jo said:

“I’m delighted to be recognised individually in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide, but this is very much a reflection of the exceptional team we have built at Jurit. Private wealth advice is becoming increasingly complex, particularly where families have international connections, significant business interests or changing tax considerations. Our focus has always been on providing thoughtful, strategic advice that helps clients navigate those complexities with confidence.”

In the last five years, Jurit’s private wealth and tax practice has continued to grow, with the recent appointment of Caroline Williams further strengthening its specialist expertise and additional senior appointments due to be announced shortly.

“We have welcomed outstanding new talent to the firm, with more to come, and I look forward to continuing to grow our practice while delivering the highest level of service to our clients.”

Robert concluded: “We have ambitious plans for the team and have continued to attract exceptional lawyers who are leaders in their respective fields. This recognition demonstrates the strength of our offering today and provides an excellent platform as we continue to build one of the UK’s leading private wealth practices.”

The Chambers High Net Worth Guide is regarded as one of the legal profession’s leading independent directories, ranking the world’s foremost advisers to high-net-worth individuals and families based on extensive independent research, client feedback and peer recommendations.

Jurit’s Private Wealth & Tax team advises individuals, families, entrepreneurs, trustees and family offices on all aspects of wealth preservation, succession planning, tax, trusts, probate and cross-border private client matters.
