UK-Bar
Defamation/Privacy - All Circuits
Individual Editorial
Jonathan Scherbel-Ball is a defamation and data protection-focused barrister who is well respected for his defence work. His practice is augmented by his previous in-house experience at the BBC. He has a significant Northern Irish practice and regularly represents publishers and broadcasters, government departments, and a range of blue-chip multinational companies.
Strengths
We use him on really complex libel, privacy and data cases. He is a star performer. We really rate him for legal work and he is good at building client relationships.
Jonathan is the full package. His responsiveness and ability to turn work around quickly without compromising on clients' commercial needs is remarkable.
No one comes close to his advocacy and legal abilities. Top notch advocate.

Jonathan is the full package - his responsiveness and ability to turn work around quickly without compromising on clients' commercial needs is remarkable.
He is outstandingly good, outstandingly clever and treats clients with a great deal of respect. No one comes close to his advocacy and legal abilities.
