Jonathan will focus his practice on advising companies – both listed and unlisted – and equity finance providers on large and complex cross-border and multi-jurisdictional transactions and joint ventures, especially in the private equity and energy sectors. His expertise in the energy sector extends to downstream oil and gas, coal bed methane, solar, carbon credits and energy regulation.
