About
About Us
We’re a full-service firm of solicitors who mainly represent business clients, whilst also offering a range of services to individuals. We have a local, national and international client base.
Hybrid physical and virtual operation
Our team consists of employed solicitors, trainee solicitors, paralegals and administration assistants who are mostly based at our central office in Haywards Heath. This close-knit retained team are responsible for generating the majority of the firm’s revenue; however, they also combine seamlessly with a remote network of trusted specialist and experienced self-employed solicitors we know well who contract with us as consultants. This hybrid approach allows us to better manage a wider array of matters, while ensuring we work as cost-effectively and responsively as possible.
Growth trajectory
The Jonathan Lea Network was founded in 2019 and has achieved remarkable growth since its inception. Despite the challenges presented by the lockdown years of 2020 and 2021, we continued to thrive – winning new clients, expanding our team, and further developing our service offerings.
Over the past few years, we have organically increased our revenue by over 2000%, with our business nearly doubling in size since 2022 due to continued client trust, word-of-mouth referrals, and an exceptional team effort.
We remain committed to being an independently owned and operated law firm, focused on long-term, sustainable growth. Our goal is to reach an annual turnover of approximately £10 million in the near future, while maintaining the personalised, high-quality service that has become synonymous with our brand.
Foundations
Our success so far has been underpinned by our strong values, bold leadership, desire to adopt good business practices, supportive culture that encourages a mindset of excellence, ability to offer an attractive place to work and ambition to offer all clients the best possible service and experience.
Compared to other firms of a similar size we put a lot more onus on our junior development programme and pride ourselves on the career progression we offer graduates and the high-performance levels achieved by those who train and qualify as solicitors with us. We see this as key to providing a responsive and cost-effective service.
We are always keen to grow and keep improving, we don’t like to turn work away or disappoint clients. No matter is too small or complex. We aim to develop long lasting relationships with our clients based on trust and confidence which result in repeat instructions and referrals.
