Kent Reynolds and Radosveta Stoeva have been extremely helpful in a number of legal cases that I have had to deal with. The general advice and all subsequent action regarding a number of residential property, commercial property and company law cases I had, was fantastic and made the whole experience as pain free as possible. Kent and Radosveta are very pleasant to work with. Highly recommend.

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.

Received great support from the Jonathan Lea Network team, in particular from Ashley Wong, Paralegal. They quickly understood my needs, developed a sensible and pragmatic solution and prepared the supporting paperwork in a short timescale. Very efficient from start to finish and reasonable rates with no hidden costs. No hesitation in recommending.

I have had the pleasure of undertaking a month-long internship at The Jonathan Lea Network, which really has significantly boosted my enthusiasm to complete my SQE exams and become a fully qualified solicitor. I am also delighted to join JLN as a full time paralegal from February!

Sarah Lungley coordinated successfully setting up our Share Options EMI scheme, backed by Jonathan Lea personally and supported by Graeme Burnham (Complete Accounting Solutions) as the accountant in the team. Please note that this team approach, bringing legal and accounting specialists together, worked well for us. For us, being totally new to EMI share options, we were very professionally led through the process, our many questions answered - at the outset and en-route.
