Practice Areas

With 25 years’ experience advising on employment law, Jonathan is seen as a go-to contact for HR directors on complex matters such as equality and discrimination law; transfers of undertakings; trade union recognition and industrial action; restructuring and contractual changes; and post-termination restrictions.

Having practised as a barrister before also qualifying as a solicitor, Jonathan is a skilled tribunal advocate, appearing regularly in employment tribunals and the EAT. On a number of occasions, he has obtained costs awards for various clients against Claimants following the successful defence of tribunal claims (such awards being extremely rare in tribunal proceedings).

Jonathan also has detailed experience of handling large-scale strategic projects, such as significant corporate restructures; complex TUPE transactions; wide-ranging employment contract reviews and variations; senior leadership changes; and developing good relationships with workplace unions and representative bodies.

A further aspect of Jonathan's role is to develop, tailor and present training for clients, which he does on a regular basis. Recent topics have included TUPE; handling restructuring processes; defending employment tribunals; equality and diversity; and employee use of email, internet and social media.

Jonathan qualified as a barrister in 1995 and as a solicitor in 2018.
