Practice Areas

Jon advises wealthy individuals, their families and the institutions that advise them in respect of their private wealth. He has particular expertise in advising business owning families.

Jon’s formative years as a lawyer were spent with a London based global law firm; this provided an experience of company and commercial law that allows Jon to provide advice to individuals and families in a way that takes into account the commercial aspects of clients’ affairs much more than would otherwise be the case. Private clients often think of their business and personal assets as very closely connected and understanding their interaction is important in order to advise comprehensively.

Entrepreneurs form a large part of Jon’s client base and frequently they have an international element to their affairs. A lot of his work concerns the transfer of business interests from one generation to the next in a way that is tax efficient and meets their commercial and personal objectives.

In addition to working alongside excellent lawyers at Fladgate Jon often advises in collaboration with expert trustees and financial professionals across different jurisdictions; which help when advising clients with complex needs.
