What can I do for you

Jonathan is an insurance lawyer, with extensive experience handling claims under Financial Lines policies.  He has particular expertise in Professional Indemnity, Directors & Officers and Employment Practices Liability policies – including lead and follow lines, primary and excess layers.  Jonathan began his career at a major international law firm, and has also spent several years in-house, at a global, market-leading insurer. 

What do others say

People regularly praise Jonathan for his clear and user-friendly communication style.  He has been described as the “first port of call” for Professional Indemnity queries and the “font of all knowledge” for commercial D&O policies. He always maintains a level head and sense of humour and is “an absolute pleasure to work with”. 

Supporting your ambitions

Jonathan has handled claims with financial values ranging from a few thousand pounds to multi-million dollars, both in the UK and beyond. He regularly deals with high media profile matters and consistently uses his expertise to help policyholders navigate their way through some extremely challenging waters.

He prides himself on making early and clear coverage assessments, to ensure policyholders, brokers, insurers and any other stakeholders are all reading from the same page and can proceed on a sure footing.  He appreciates the peace of mind leadership and clear decision making bring to those involved in the claim process.      
 

What else should you know?

Away from work, Jonathan holds a private pilot’s license.  When he is not busy chasing after his young family, he can usually be found in the skies over northern England, flying around in light sports aircraft. He is also continuously trying to improve his dubious Spanish language skills.
