Jonathan has a broad trusts and commercial practice. Much of his time is spent on private, commercial or pension trust disputes and fraud disputes, both on and offshore. His litigation often takes him into other areas of law, and he has significant experience of cases with family, regulatory, insolvency and public law elements. He also has a significant advisory practice across this spectrum of work.

He very much enjoys the challenge of breaking down complex issues into simple, clear points and the advocacy involved in litigation, both oral and written.

Most recently, Jonathan appeared successfully on appeal before the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal in the first case on Quistclose trusts before that Court, China Life Trustees Ltd (judgment 14 June 2024).
