Testimonials

Since we started Gap Year back in 1998 I’ve worked with many lawyers, but found Jonathan to be the best I’ve ever encountered.  After several months of hefty bills and not getting anywhere with a big US firm in London, I instructed Jonathan to represent me on the sale of Gap Year to Flight Centre, one of Australia’s largest companies. Straight away Jonathan got to grips with the relevant issues and I was particularly impressed how he formed great relationships with all the parties involved, persuaded the buyer to structure the deal in a simpler, more favourable way, negotiated calmly and forcefully, mediated contentious points and found solutions to previously unresolved problems.  

Despite the main parties being interspersed around the world, Jonathan very effectively coordinated everyone and led us to complete the deal within just a month of him picking up the work when previously I feared the sale may never happen. He made what was one of the most stressful and difficult periods of my life a lot easier to endure.
