Jonathan was recruited by Cobleys LLP as a partner in November 2007 specifically to work with Eric Williams in the Business Litigation Unit.
Prior to this Jonathan was a partner for another local firm dealing specifically with Very High Cost Cases. He has experience of all types of criminal cases ranging from appearing in the Magistrates Court to dealing with the most serious of Crown Court Cases.
Over several years Jonathan’s focus has been concentrated on dealing with the most high profile and complicated Crown Court matters to which he has found that his attention to detail and meticulous preparation has led to numerous successful acquittals.
Not only has Jonathan dealt with the preparation of the above cases but now also enjoys appearing at the Crown Court as a Solicitor Advocate.
Most recently Jonathan has become involved in dealing with “gangmasters” who have been threatened with the revocation of their GLA licences for alleged breaches of the Licensing Standards (2009). This relatively new and niche area of work deals with those who have obtained a GLA Licence, permitting them to act as a “gangmaster” as governed by the Gangmasters Licensing Authority. Jonathan has found with many of these cases, early intervention and liaison with the GLA can be crucial to retaining a gangmaster’s licence. Of course, this is not always possible and in circumstances where a resolution cannot be found the matter must be contested at an Oral Hearing. To date, Jon has a 100% success rate! |
