Jonathan is easily able to relate to companies and lawyers alike, understanding precisely what is required within a position and who might be appropriate for it. Having practised law in Private Practice, in-house, in the UK and overseas, Jonathan understands the different dynamics and requirements of each and every position.
Jonathan has an extensive range of contacts within the legal industry (in-house and also in leading UK, US and international law firms) both across the UK and throughout Europe. Jonathan is always up to date with developments within his areas of expertise.
Having been in the shoes of both hiring company (interviewing potential candidates for roles within his in-house legal team) and candidate interviewee (being approached by agencies about both relevant and non-relevant open positions and subsequently then potentially attending for interview), Jonathan has a truly unique perspective. Jonathan enjoys speaking the same language as his clients and candidates and is able to remove many of the stresses and pressures from both by adopting a pro-active and collaborative approach.
Jonathan has authored and published various articles on the transition from Private Practice to in-house and on what it takes to be a successful and effective in-house lawyer, copies of which are available upon request.
