Juro is a British legal technology company that develops browser-based contract lifecycle management (CLM) software. The platform is used by corporate legal and business teams to draft, negotiate, and manage contracts.[1] In 2024, the company was ranked among the fastest-growing private technology companies in the United Kingdom by The Sunday Times.[2]
History
The company's UK legal entity was incorporated in July 2015 under the name Termscloud Limited, before rebranding to Juro Online Limited in October 2015.[3] It was co-founded by Richard Mabey, a former corporate lawyer at the Magic Circle firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Pavel Kovalevich, a former IT consultant.[1] Following its launch, the company raised a $750,000 seed round in January 2017, followed by a $2 million funding round in April 2018 led by Point Nine Capital and Seedcamp.[4][5]
In January 2020, Juro raised a $5 million Series A funding round led by Union Square Ventures.[1] This was followed in January 2022 by a $23 million Series B round led by Eight Roads. This funding milestone was covered extensively by the financial press, bringing the company's total venture backing to approximately $31.5 million at the time.[6][7][8]
Operations
Juro is headquartered in London, with an engineering presence in Riga, Latvia, and a United States headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, which opened in 2025 to service the North American market.[8][9] By 2024, the company reported processing over 2.5 million contracts for approximately 6,000 customers globally, with an enterprise client base that includes Deliveroo, Trustpilot, Pfizer, and WeWork.[8][6][10]
Products and services
Juro provides a cloud-based contract lifecycle management platform. The Law Society of Ireland Gazette has described the software as an end-to-end workflow platform that utilises a design-first approach accessible to legal, sales, and HR users.[11] Centred on a browser-native text editor, it is designed to automate the drafting, approval, and execution of legal documents, functioning as a modular data alternative to static word processing files and PDFs.[1][11]
The platform includes workflow integrations with third-party business software such as Salesforce, Slack, and HubSpot, as well as generative AI features for extracting data from legacy contracts and screening documents against internal legal playbooks.[8][12][13] In August 2025, Juro established a strategic partnership with the AI agent platform Wordsmith, utilising the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable automated contract review workflows.[14] This was followed in October 2025 by the introduction of an MCP integration connecting contract repositories directly to ChatGPT, enabling users to query legal data through AI assistants.[15]
Reception and market impact
In 2024, Juro was named one of the 100 fastest-growing private technology companies in the UK by The Sunday Times, ranking 31st based on its annual sales growth.[2] That same year, the company was selected for the Tech Nation Future Fifty cohort, a UK government-backed programme for late-stage technology businesses.[16] In 2025, European technology investment bank GP Bullhound named Juro the "Software Company of the Year" at its Allstars Awards.[17]
The company has also published industry research on the legal sector, such as a 2025 survey on the adoption of AI tools by in-house legal teams that was covered by City A.M.[18]
