Matt Moorton did a fantastic job tightening up our staff contracts and handbook to improve our confidentiality and intellectual property clauses. The language used in our new social media policy and the introductory letter struck the perfect balance of being both firm yet friendly.

We used The Jonathan Lea Network for our advanced assurance application. Both Simon and Andreea were incredibly helpful, professional and thorough in their work. I would highly recommend them.

5* experience working with the Jonathan Lea Network in respect of a SEIS/EIS advanced assurance application. Elliot and Callum were very professional in all aspects of the engagement - polite, responsive and knowledgable. The team responded quickly to my initial enquiry, offered a competitive price and outstanding service (we received confirmation of advanced assurance very quickly thanks to Elliot and Callum). I would highly recommend working with Elliot and Callum for SEIS/EIS matters and the Jonathan Lea Network.

I'm based in Aberdeen, Scotland. I found the Jonathan Lea Network online. I had been using a solicitors firm in Aberdeen for a year and not got anywhere. I took a chance and contacted JLN network in which I found the enquiry to be dealt with promptly, efficiently and professionally. I was able to do what I had requested another firm to do within weeks instead of over a year with no end in sight. I'm extremely grateful to Jonathan and his team (Elliott, Abi and Alice) for their help. I would have no hesitation in recommending The JLN to others.It was a shareholders agreement and share allocation that I needed assistance with, it was dealt with very smoothly and efficient.I wish the JLN every success for the future and will use them again.

We worked closely with Andreea Rusu on a SEIS/EIS advanced assurance application for our film production company. These are very hard to get and we had previously failed to obtain it using another company, so we approached The Jonathan Lea Network as they specialise in this field.With Andreea’s excellent professional guidance and advice she managed to turn it around and secure the advanced assurance for us in quick time.We highly recommend The Jonathan Lea Network and particularly Andreea – a joy to work with, very professional and swift service and good value for money. 10/10 from us!

The entire team at The Jonathan Lea Network are excellent. Super efficient, knowledgeable and great to work with. I worked with Simon most closely, who made our EIS Assurance an easy process, ensuring every detail was taken care of. Would highly recommend the team to anyone.

Andreea Rusu from JLN did an excellent job on getting our SEIS/EIS Advance Assurance and the compliance statements. She is very detail oriented and knows the process very well and asks all the right questions. We got the Advance Assurance in a record two weeks and the compliance statements in almost the same time. I highly recommend Andreea and overall The Jonathan Lea Network.
