Jon Fell, Telecoms Partner

“Jonathan is an extremely likeable and affable man. He knows the legal market inside out and is the consummate professional.

It is not surprising therefore that I accepted a lunch invitation to discuss an opportunity which would involve me moving back to London after 7 years in Birmingham. I agreed to go for 2 reasons: first, it was Jonathan who was asking and I knew that he wouldn’t waste my time. Second, he had told me enough about the opportunity to gain my interest and flattered me enough to make sure that I felt I ought to find out more. If only it wasn’t in London. Over lunch, Jonathan explained that he thought that I would be a great fit for the firm concerned and more importantly that they would be a good fit for me. Over the years, I have had many calls from head hunters. Most are speculative; few have taken the time or made the effort to find out what I do. Jonathan is one of the few exceptions. I had met him about 8 years previously, and I was amazed how he recalled my personal details. It’s the little things that matter. Anyway, given his ability to sell, it is not surprising that I agreed to have an initial meeting with the firm and the rest, as they say, is history. Jonathan was right (he usually is); Osborne Clarke is a fantastic firm and I am delighted to have joined them as a telecoms partner. Thank you Jonathan.”
