Jonathan has worked with clients operating in most business sectors including financial services, international trade, FMCG, energy, construction, transportation and commodities. He has led numerous transaction teams; assisting clients navigate the regulatory complexities of multi-jurisdictional transactions across the Middle East and Africa.

Jonathan was a partner in Clyde & Co from 1989, when his own practice merged with Clyde & Co until earlier this year when he became a Consultant to the Firm.  He founded, chaired for over 15 years and remains a member of what is now the Firm’s MEA Regional Management Board and served for 11 years on the Firm’s Global Management Board. At the time of the merger, in 1989, Clyde & Co’s operation in the region comprised four lawyers.  Since then, Jonathan has been instrumental in developing a leading Middle East and Africa regional practice delivering legal services to the highest professional standard to clients from inside and outside the region with more than 85 partners, over 270 legal professionals and more than 540 employees in total working in 9 offices in the Middle East and Africa.   

Jonathan has been described by Chambers Global as a 'leading light with an excellent mind' and his market expertise is widely acknowledged as being amongst the very best in the entire region. He has been named as a leading UAE practitioner in The International Who's Who of Mergers & Acquisitions Lawyers Guide, recognised by Asian MENA Counsel as UAE External Counsel of the Year, which identifies individual lawyers who have been recognised as 'exceptional' by a survey of over 18,000 in-house counsel based across Asia and the Middle East; named as a Senior Statesperson by Chambers Global; and in 2021, received a UAE Lifetime Achievement Award from Chambers Middle East. Jonathan has also been listed in Dubai’s Top 100 most influential people, and has been ranked as one of the world's leading practitioners in the Who's Who Legal: Thought Leaders - M&A and Governance 2023 report. He has also recently been named in Legal 500’s Private Practice Powerlist 2024: M&A - Middle East.

Jonathan is one of the very few English solicitors who has served as a director of a company listed on The London Stock Exchange and is probably the only solicitor to have chaired the Board of such a company.

Jonathan is Chairman of the Emirates Racing Authority Appeal Panel on which he has served since 2012.
