Jon has been a real estate lawyer for over twenty years and leads the commercial property team in our London office.
With extensive experience of complex and high-value property transactions, Jon works with a diverse range of clients across a number of sectors including education institutions, property developers, charities, retailers and property investors.
On every project Jon strives to ensure that the client's desired results are delivered in an efficient and cost effective manner. He also fully appreciates that a client's commercial aims must not be forgotten when complex legal issues arise.
Jon is based in our London office, but can support you nationally.
I know I can always rely on Jon and trust his judgement and ability to deliver to deadlines. I also value the fact that I can have open conversations with him and that he will often suggest other routes to achieve the same goal.
