McCue Jury & Partners LLP

What McCue Jury & Partners LLP does

McCue Jury & Partners LLP is a specialist boutique law firm headquartered in London (84 Brook Street) with a secondary office in Bristol (17-18 Berkeley Square). Founded by Jason McCue (Senior Partner) and Matthew Jury (Managing Partner), the firm succeeds the predecessor practice H2O Law LLP and operates with approximately 9 employees. It is a private Limited Liability Partnership registered in England and Wales, with no institutional or external capital.

The firm provides legal services across six core practice areas: (1) Litigating, Prosecuting and Defending Rights; (2) Governments, Non-Government Institutions and International Affairs; (3) Human Rights, Victims and Class Actions; (4) Private and Corporate Commercial; (5) Reputation and Privacy; and (6) Environmental. Its primary client segment is victims of terrorism, human rights abuses, and international crimes, supplemented by governments and international institutions, corporate clients requiring crisis or reputation management, class-action plaintiff groups, and high-profile individuals. The firm pioneered 'lawfare' — civil litigation strategies against terrorists, their financiers, and sponsors — and has secured landmark precedents including civil judgment against the Real IRA for the Omagh bombing and compensation for hundreds of victims of IRA terrorism under the US-Libya Claims Settlement Agreement.

The firm monetises through bespoke legal fee arrangements with no publicly disclosed pricing. It is structurally differentiated by an in-house Litigation Support Group (LSG) providing specialist research, forensic investigations, private political diplomacy, campaigning, fundraising, and strategic communications — capabilities typically unavailable at traditional law firms. The LSG is supported by sister entities: RIGEL/Rigel International (intelligence and strategic communications, co-founded by Jason McCue), Justice Register (class-action client intake and management), Greenlit SA (ESG third-party litigation funding platform, co-founded by Jason McCue), and EBRO Global (nonprofit humanitarian advisory). The firm distributes exclusively via direct client engagement, generating visibility through high-profile case outcomes, earned media in outlets such as The Guardian and The Times, and thought-leadership publishing, with no third-party intermediaries or resellers.
