Jonathan has a crossover commercial dispute resolution, fraud, partnership and employment practice almost exclusively consisting of heavyweight High Court litigation and claims involving breach of fiduciary duty, dishonesty or fraud. His employment experience as a junior barrister, when he was twice nominated as Chambers & Partners employment junior of the year, gives him a unique understanding of the issues raised in civil claims for breach of duty against senior executives, directors and partners. He is frequently instructed in high profile international fraud claims; he acted for a number of defendants in the Mukhtar Ablyazov Kazakh banking fraud litigation, for Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation in their high-profile action against a former director for breach of fiduciary duty, for a senior executive of Credit Suisse accused of fraud in the “Tuna Bonds” litigation and for Vista Jets owner, Thomas Flohr, successfully defending him against a claim for breach of fiduciary duty brought by well-known investor, Timothy Horlick.
