Jonathan Tardif

Career

Jonathan heads up our business and professional risk department comprising commercial dispute resolution, construction, employment and professional indemnity. He handles complex commercial contract and trade disputes for major domestic and international corporations. He works across a variety of sectors with particular expertise in the manufacturing, retail, logistics and energy sectors.

For almost 25 years, Jonathan has helped clients resolve hundreds of commercial disputes, often for blue chip names in the private sector. The fact that Jonathan’s team continually attracts high value, technically complex instructions is testament to the quality of work and exceptional results which the team as a whole delivers.

Clients particularly value Jonathan’s ability to cut through the legal issues and focus on what really matters – often, that is a commercially driven outcome rather than a costly, time-consuming race to the court door. While trials have their place, Jonathan recognises the benefits for his clients of engaging in mediation or other forms of ADR to help achieve economically sensible results.

Jonathan sits on the firm’s Exec which is responsible for delivering the firm’s strategy and on the Partnership Committee which oversees and directs the structure, development, career progression and reward of the firm’s partners and directors.
