    What Clients Say

    “I was recommended to Jonathan by a former SRA forensic investigator who had worked with him in dealing with investigations and prosecutions on behalf of the SRA.

    Jonathan now only acts for individuals and firms under investigation by the SRA.

    When I spoke to Jonathan to outline the difficulty that we had, I was immediately impressed by his knowledge and background.

    The SRA were seeking from as an explanation of conduct in a particular matter. We had prepared our own response to the points raised, but it was evident from Jonathan’s draft response once we had instructed him just how important it was to rely on his experience.

    His intimate working knowledge of the SRA and it’s overarching principles and ethos meant he could quote case law and rules and regulations in a way that we had no experience of, and his vastly improved and extended response led to the SRA immediately confirming they would be taking no further action.

    I would not hesitate to unreservedly recommend Jonathan to anyone having difficulties with the SRA.”
