Joe Hallett joins private wealth practice at Jurit
Jurit LLP has appointed Joe Hallett as a consultant solicitor in its private wealth and tax team as the virtual law firm continues on its growth trail.
Joe brings with him over 16 years’ experience in wills, trusts and probate matters as well as in-depth expertise in commercial property law.
He joins from Hannah Solicitors, the law firm he set up in 2012 where he specialised in advising small businesses and their owners on a broad range of legal matters.
An experienced lawyer, Joe’s appointment comes at an exciting time for Jurit, which has entered Legal 500 & Chambers rankings as a leading firm for the first time. Today, the firm counts nine experienced senior partners and over 25 consultant solicitors amongst its ranks, delivering flexible legal services from across the UK to private individuals and businesses based here and abroad.
Speaking of the appointment, Robert Marcus, Managing Partner at Jurit, said: “In 2021 we merged with private client firm, PWT Advice. Ever since, our private client practice has continued to go from strength to strength.”
As we celebrate Jurit’s tenth year in business, we are looking to consolidate our growth through key appointments that will not only ensure excellence of client service, but will also support us from a succession planning perspective.”
Having set up his own law firm specialising initially in wills and probate, Joe is no stranger to running and growing his own practice, doing so for several years before Hannah Solicitors was acquired in 2020. Joe continued with the business on a consultancy basis for four years, but was looking for a fresh challenge when he came across Jurit.
He said: “I was attracted to Jurit and its consultancy model, which felt like the perfect fit for me at this stage in my career. The ability to work flexibly to meet the needs of my clients was an attractive proposition.”
“Having successfully run my own firm, I knew that I would enjoy the entrepreneurial challenge that the Jurit model would offer, whilst surrounding myself with a team of incredibly experienced lawyers from whom I can learn.”
Joe is based in Rugby and advises private clients and businesses across the UK. He is one of a team of 15 private client lawyers based in the Private Wealth & Tax team at Jurit, led by partners Jo Summers and Nicola Dudley.
