Jonathan initially studied a degree in Philosophy and enjoyed a career after university in the public sector including roles at the Home Office, the General Social Care Council and the National College for School Leadership. His desire to work with people and to have a positive impact on their lives then led to a change of direction in his career.
Between 2006 and 2008 Jonathan studied the Graduate Diploma in Law before joining Family Law Group in December 2008 as a paralegal. The following year he took a break from working to complete the Legal Practice Course and returned to Family Law Group in July 2010. Jonathan completed his training contract with the firm and qualified as a Solicitor in March 2012.
Jonathan became a member of Resolution showing his commitment to the constructive resolution of family disputes. Initially he undertook work in all areas of family law and now focuses on resolving the issues arising from the breakdown of relationships, including the finances and arrangements for children. He is also an accredited member of the Law Society's Advanced Family Panel specialising in private law children and domestic violence.
Jonathan became a Senior Associate of Family Law Group in 2017. In 2016 he was featured by ‘VouchedFor’ in the Sunday Times as one of the top 175 solicitors in England and was later awarded a Certificate of Excellence due to the positive reviews he received.
Jonathan is committed to achieving excellence in his role and providing pragmatic and child focused advice to his clients. He has an interest in alternative dispute resolution so that matters can be dealt with outside of Court and is currently training to be a mediator.
Outside of work Jonathan enjoys playing football, walking, biking and camping with his young daughter. He is also a committee member of the New Appeals Organisation, a local charity in Nottingham.
Just a big thank you to Jonathan and the team. His hard work and support on this matter has been invaluable. He is very professional and a solicitor that I would like to become in the future.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you again for what you have achieved in our case. I am beyond grateful for what you have done for my boys and I.

Although harrowing having to deal with it all, you have made the process so much easier and even provided laughs along the way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I really can’t thank Derby Family Law Group enough. They have helped me so much and been ever so supportive and highly professional. Jonathan and Henna have been amazing in assisting me through this difficult time, they have always explained everything thoroughly, the communication I cannot fault at all and they have always been there to reassure me when in doubt. I felt very supported in and out of court and can’t thank them enough for their hard work. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needed help with family law matters.
I wanted to pass on how grateful he was for all your advice and assistance. He could not speak highly enough of you personally and professionally. He described you as absolutely brilliant and having dealt with a difficult matter admirably and meticulously. Also he said you were very kind and supportive. He was also very grateful for your out of hours legal advice and support throughout his case.
'' I've used Family Law Group in Derby on two occasions now for family matters. They have responded promptly and efficiently to matters, and dealt with things in a highly professional manner. I have been treated with the utmost respect. Not only have they handled our case delicately and successfully, it was also a personal experience - where my feelings and situation were cared for and I did not feel like 'just another client'. I was kept informed throughout the process, and reassured in moments of doubt during our case, and always put at ease. I was supported in every step of the process, and by all I came into contact with (Henna, Catriona, and Jonathan). I would highly recommend the Derby division to anyone. I am sincerely grateful for everything Catriona and Jonathan (especially) did to help our family.''
