About Anthony
Anthony is an internationally renowned commercial lawyer with over 40 years’ experience in the legal profession. He is Managing Partner of Jurit, the business he set up in 2012.
Having lived and worked nationally and internationally, Anthony has extensive expertise in both the provision of corporate and commercial advice, as well as in building and leading legal teams.
From his days developing the commercial practice of Clyde & Co in Guildford, to the setting up and running their Dubai office which provided jobs for 250 people from over 30 countries, Anthony has become expert in the ins and outs of running and leading a business.
This experience has seen him build, develop and reorganise businesses, he has sat on Boards in the UK and abroad, and has chaired an international strategy committee for a leading firm.
Clients call him their external / internal general counsel
- and with good reason. He has worked with clients who have changed the world and is looking to use his experience, expertise and networks to help the next generation of entrepreneurs to do so too.
Having returned to the UK from the Emirates in 2012, where he saw out the ups of the hectic growth of the City state, the downs of the Gulf War, 9/11 and a deep recession, he has continued to make the most of the rich experience, expertise and connections made throughout his career, creating a network of trusted legal practitioners here at Jurit.
Through Jurit, Anthony aims to provide innovative businesses with expert legal advice to help develop and grow their companies on the national and international stage.
Testimonials
Kyros project have been using Jurit LLP since we founded the company in late 2019. As a start-up we wanted to ensure our incubation period as an organisation was one of solid foundations and limited mistakes. Jurit and their wealth of experienced practitioners have enabled us to safely navigate the complex landscape of shareholders agreements, contracts, employment procedures and IP protection.
Calm, patient and organised, our lead counsel has been a catalyst for sound decision making at every turn of our journey, as well as providing the agility of bringing in other specialists from within Jurit when required to ensure we receive robust multidisciplinary advice when we need it most. Very highly recommended.
Ben Williams - Performance Director - Kyros Project
Anthony Garrod provided Comix with fantastic advice with our contractual agreements with our clients, including Avicii, Tiësto and Kygo and Adrian Hoggarth has advised us on our arrangements with employees and contractors, where his industry knowledge was really valuable. I was very impressed with the personal touch and how patient they were whilst working under tight deadlines.
Harry Bird - Executive Director and Founder - Comix
Jurit acted for Solaris Offgrid on the investment by Acumen Fund and Compass Venture Capital in $1m convertible notes of the company. Jurit also acted for the company on its issue of convertible notes under the UK Government’s Future Fund Scheme.
Jurit’s pragmatic support and experienced counsel were invaluable on these transactions. I very much appreciated the Jurit team’s availability and fast turnaround time, and the delivery of their services to a high standard.

Anthony is passionate about what he does, and his energy and enthusiasm are an obvious strength. He transcends the professional gap between external resource and trusted advisor with ease, and clients (old and new) value his thoughtful insights and observations.
As a leader, Anthony fostered an environment, which encouraged those around him to learn, to share, to take on new challenges and responsibilities, and to maximise our talent. I benefited significantly from the time working with Anthony, and I matured both professionally and personally. Anthony is a mentor and a friend, and I wish him every success in the future.
