Kings Chambers

Jonathan Fletcher-Wright has a thriving practice in commercial law and insolvency law.

Following a Modern Languages degree and a postgraduate diploma in law, Jonathan started pupillage at Kings Chambers in 2011, becoming a full member of chambers in 2012. His specialist areas include commercial litigation, company and shareholder disputes, insolvency, banking and financial services. He also has a strong interest in conflict of laws and jurisdictional disputes.

Jonathan appears regularly in the High Court, and has experience at Court of Appeal level. This has included representing the successful Respondent in Morris Homes Ltd v Cheshire West and Chester Council [2020] EWCA Civ 1516, a dispute about the correct interpretation of a contractual clause, with potentially extremely significant financial implications.

Jonathan has a keen interest in law as an academic discipline; in 2022-2023 he took a sabbatical to study for an LL.M (Master’s Degree in Law), in which he focused on the legal impact of novel technologies such as cryptoassets and smart contracts.

In his practice, Jonathan aims to provide solicitors and lay clients with a practical, commercially-minded service that focuses on their needs. Jonathan’s work brings him into contact with many different sectors and industries. He prides himself on seeking to understand their priorities and objectives, and helping to achieve practical and efficient solutions to complex legal problems.
