Jonathan Fowles

Practice Areas

Jonathan is a genuine specialist in the law of charities, in which he undertakes both contentious and non-contentious work.

His recent work has included Nuffield Health v Merton, the first case in which the Supreme Court considered the public benefit requirement, and Mohammed v Daji (now before the Court of Appeal) which is concerned with the disputed establishment and interpretation of charitable trusts of land and a claim for a cy-près scheme. He is Junior Counsel to the Treasury in Charity Matters, advising the Attorney General in their constitutional function as defender of charity and the charitable interest and representing them in litigation where necessary.

He is also co-editor of the leading textbook, Tudor on Charities, and is widely published in charity law.
