Callum Ritchie Qualifies As A Solicitor

December 21

We are delighted to announce that Callum Ritchie has recently qualified as a solicitor. This is a very exciting moment for the firm as Callum is our second trainee to qualify, with our other three trainees set to follow in his footsteps over the next two years.

Simon Brooks Qualifies As A Solicitor

August 9

We are proud of our team for their hard work and dedication, while we have always seen it as important to offer career progression opportunities. This month we are delighted to announce that Simon Brooks has become our first trainee solicitor to qualify as a solicitor.

Simon joined us in August 2018 as the first paralegal we employed. At the time we operated from a tiny office in the roof above a small accountancy practice, trading under the insurance and regulatory umbrella of another law firm which Jonathan had joined as a consultant back in 2013. Despite being in our infancy Jonathan was able to interview several recent law school leavers for the role and eventually selected Simon due to his high academic grades, extra-curricular achievements and sense of ambition.

Happy customers

Excellent services received from The Jonathan Lea Network. Special thanks to Alastair and Simon. Would highly recommend.

After searching for someone with expertise and a solid reputation, we engaged with JL for a Declaration of Trust. We were assigned Andreea Rusu (trainee) but felt we were in safe hands from the outset. The process was relatively smooth - the only wrinkles were teething issues during signing as we had to move to no-contact, fully digital method as it was Covid lockdown. Never-the-less, Andreea was always available to help out and during drafting and signing process, she certainly went the "extra mile or two". Dealing with Andreea was an absolute delight. She was super responsive, professional, helpful and friendly. I would have no hesitation in endorsing Andreea to others. Thank you Andreea you made a potentially complex process, simple, easy and stress-free !

Simon at JLN was fantastic in assisting with our EIS application. He was seamless in his approach and the process went without a hitch. Would highly recommend

Our company recently received advance assurance for EIS/SEIS from HMRC after working with the Jonathan Lea Network for the application process. We specifically chose JLN due to them having had specific experience with our niche (film and TV production company), and working with Callum Ritchie we received approval in a relatively short timeframe considering the challenges of 2020. Through detailed and succinct correspondence we were successful after just one exchange of follow-up questions with HMRC, and we would definitely recommend these guys for anyone else seeking EIS/SEIS assurance, especially with the specific challenges presented by being a film/TV production company.

I don't really want to leave a 5* review as would prefer to keep their superb, responsive service to our business! However I can confirm that Kent Reynolds offered superb and very fast advice in a contract negotiation which enabled us to agree some sensible contract amendments & get the deal signed. Excellent.

I had a very good experience working with Elliott le Warde and Andreea Rusu on our EIS Advance Assurance application and would highly recommend engaging with them at JLN for such matters. Responsive, straightforward and guided me through this process in a very efficient manner.
