“Facing an investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is a daunting experience for anyone. I knew I needed someone who not only understood the regulatory landscape but could also navigate it with confidence, precision, and authority. That’s exactly what I found in Jonathan Goodwin.

From the outset, Jonathan demonstrated an extraordinary level of expertise and professionalism. He grasped the complexities of my case immediately and, without any hesitation, engaged with the SRA on my behalf. It was clear that he had dealt with them many times before—his approach was calm, assured, and highly strategic.

He took the time to explain every stage of the process in detail, ensuring I understood what to expect and how best to respond. His written representations were meticulous and persuasive, and his communications with the SRA were impactful, to say the least. It was clear when Jonathan communicated with the SRA, they “sat up and took note”.

What truly set Jonathan apart was his ability to instil confidence when I needed it most. No question was too small, and no detail was overlooked.

Thanks to his expert handling, the matter was resolved far more quickly and favourably than I could have imagined. I walked away with my professional integrity intact and a profound appreciation for Jonathan’s skill and dedication.

If you’re a legal professional facing regulatory scrutiny, I cannot recommend Jonathan Goodwin highly enough. He doesn’t just provide legal representation—he provides reassurance, clarity, and results when everything is on the line.”

What Clients Say

“I am very impressed with Jonathan’s resolution of my case, without a hearing, by way of an agreed outcome and a fine, in an instance where I had a criminal record and was really looking at a much more severe sanction from my regulator.

Jonathan is in a unique position of having also worked for the SRA, before switching sides, during his 25 years’ in practice.

I have Jonathan to thank for quite frankly saving my chosen career, a career I worked hard to build and which was under threat for over 15 months, until the resolution finally came.

Jonathan is a straight-talker, there’s no ton of legalese or lengthy advise to ponder, he gives it to you straight, he lets you understand that you are under no illusions that the situation is dire, but he will do his best, using his experience and contacts, to get the best outcome possible under the circumstances, which I must admit is exactly what happened in my case, just as I was beginning to lose hope.

Jonathan thinks strategically and knows the regulator rules inside-out (in my case, he was, effectively, telling the tribunal what their own rules are, that’s how well-versed he is) and is realistic about what negotiations and outcomes can be achieved in the circumstances.

He also offers value for money – in that the fees I paid him for my case were a fraction of what was quoted to me by another law firm.

All in all, I have Jonathan to thank for me remaining in my chosen profession and I cannot recommend him enough to anybody who finds themselves in trouble with the SRA (or other regulatory bodies).”
