Jonathan has acted on some of the most significant commercial and residential transactions in Jersey. He has an extensive background in the areas of commercial property, landlord and tenant, construction and lending and finance transactions. He also regularly advises high net-worth clients relocating to Jersey.
I am lucky enough to have travelled and lived in many different counties: my father was in the oil industry and so we moved around a lot as a child. This obviously made an impact as since qualifying as an English solicitor in 2006 I have practised as a lawyer in no less than four different legal jurisdictions, gaining legal qualifications in two (I am also a Guernsey Advocate). Having relocated to the Channel Islands in 2011 (and after a stint practising as a property lawyer in the UAE) we put down roots in Jersey, which I find to be an amazing place to live and work. I enjoy the transactional nature of property and find it satisfying to help people navigate the nuances and quirks of Jersey law. Having worked at large international firms, I really enjoy working at a smaller, more agile local firm with that personal touch and still having exposure to interesting and varied work. Outside of the law, I enjoy walks with the family and our Westie, playing football with my son, playing the guitar, snowboarding and watching my beloved Manchester City (not necessarily in that order).
