Jonathan is a most welcome addition to our Crime and Inquests, Inquiries and Public Law teams, specialising in the defence and prosecution of high profile and sensitive criminal matters and their interface with inquisitorial proceedings.  He is instructed throughout all stages of the legal process for various parties across these areas and is commended for his vast intellect, diligence, commitment and formidable advocacy.

Heads of Chambers Adrian Darbishire KC and Selva Ramasamy KC said “We are delighted to welcome Jonathan to Chambers.  Widely recognised as one of the outstanding practitioners at the Criminal Bar, he also acts in leading roles in highly complex Public Inquiries, such as Senior Counsel to the Inquiry for the Independent Inquiry into Afghanistan and representing the CPS and the NCA in module 5 of the Covid Inquiry.  The range of his work thus complements that of Chambers more broadly and we have no doubt that his stellar practice will thrive here at QEB.”
