    Jonathan’s practice focuses on advising clients on structuring and implementing cross borders acquisitions and divestments, acting for both private and public companies in a broad range of industries including oil and gas, after-life services, insurance, property development, financial services, hotels, media and technologies.

    Jonathan regularly advises clients in relation to in-bound investments into and acquisitions in PRC and out-bound investments and acquisitions from PRC to the rest of the world.
