Jonathan Kitchin

I am a Partner in the Commercial & Regulatory Disputes team at Michelmores.

My role is to guide clients through some of the toughest challenges that arise during the lifecycle and evolution of a business or an investment. We advise directors, shareholders, investors, borrowers, lenders and parties to commercial contracts. My personal experience lies in company and contract law, fraud, insurance coverage and professional negligence but I often lead multi-disciplinary teams with specialist insolvency, employment, regulatory or reputation management lawyers. Our focus is on identifying the best possible outcomes and strategies that enable clients to move forward to the next stage of their journey with confidence.

A significant proportion of my experience relates to matters in the financial services sector regarding banks, lenders, financial planning or investment management firms and investigations by the Financial Conduct Authority. Whilst the majority of my work concludes by way of negotiated settlement, I have litigated several reported cases in the High Court, at the Court of Appeal and via international arbitration.

Away from disputes, I enjoy learning about my clients and connecting them to people or opportunities that will make a helpful contribution to their business or personal lives. I am also keen to promote the positive social and environmental impact that the legal profession can have on its clients and the communities we work in, and lead the firm’s pro-bono offering.
