About Michael J.
Michael J. Jurista graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 2004 with a B.A. in economics. He earned his J.D. from New York Law School in 2008. Those educational years set his path into personal practice and in-house work throughout two states.
He started his legal career in 2008 as an associate at Genova Burns. That first position placed him in a company environment dealing with client matters and learning legal proceedings and transactional practice. In 2011 he moved to Ambrosio & Associates LLC, serving first as an affiliate and later of counsel. That period broadened his firm-aspect knowledge. In 2018 he transitioned to an in-residence role as general counsel for Chafia Capital Partners, the place he treated corporate legal work for the organization. In 2021 he released his personal firm, turning into proprietor and managing member of Jurista Law LLC.
Jurista is licensed to practice in each New Jersey and New York. His professional document includes a mix of firm and in-residence positions that concerned corporate, transactional and client counseling work. He has represented enterprise clients, recommended on company governance problems, and managed legal dangers for employers. Those duties have been a through line from his earliest associate work to his time as chief legal officer.
He has been concerned in local professional circles as nicely. Jurista held membership within the Brennan-Vanderbilt American Inn of Court from 2011 to 2012, participating in programs that emphasize ethics and trial abilities. That engagement reflects an interest in practical legal proceedings and court process alongside transactional practice.
Today he leads Jurista Law LLC. The firm serves clients in matters springing up beneath New Jersey and New York regulation. He attracts on experience from both firm practice and in-house counsel work to advise enterprise clients, handle transactional things, and address company governance questions. His current practice concentrates on counseling agencies and managing legal matters for clients throughout the two jurisdictions.
