Position

Jonathan primarily practises in the specialist fields of clinical negligence (including medical related inquest work) and product liability. He has been instructed in several major group actions in recent years including the Pinnacle Hip implant GLO and more recently the vaginal mesh litigation.

His clinical negligence practice focuses on high value, complex claims, involving major, life changing injuries. He has a particular interest in cancer cases and he is adept at dealing with the complex medical and statistical issues that such claims can involve. He is also sought after for his excellent client care skills and his ability to assist claimants involved in highly traumatic and sometimes life limited claims.

He also maintains a practice in the general field of personal injury and is often instructed in ‘difficult’ claims involving chronic pain or complex psychiatric disorders. He also undertakes broader professional negligence work, often involving allegations of negligence against solicitors and financial professionals and more general commercial and consumer litigation involving a variety of contractual, equitable and statutory remedies.
