Jonathan also defends corporates and individuals subjected to investigation and prosecution by the criminal authorities. This has included, by way of example, the high profile fraud/conspiracy charges pursued by the SFO in relation to LIBOR and EURIBOR, bribery and corruption, international sanctions, money laundering, fraud by false representation, immigration act offences, perverting the course of justice and fire arms offences.  He handles private prosecutions both as prosecution and defence counsel. 

Fraud, both civil and criminal, comprises a significant part of the work Jonathan undertakes across the sectors he specialises in.    

Much of Jonathan’s work has an international perspective and he frequently acts in co-counsel roles with foreign lawyers representing the interests of clients involved in multi-jurisdictional disputes, regulatory and criminal investigations and prosecutions.
