Jon Rathbone

Director, Head of Corporate and Commercial @Hughes Paddison Solicitors

Cheltenham, GB

I have over 14 years’ experience with a genuine dual specialism in both corporate and commercial transactions. At Hughes Paddison, we offer the full range of corporate and commercial advice to clients whether they are buying or selling a business, raising finance, entering into joint ventures, buying or selling goods or services or reviewing intellectual property arrangements. We have particular expertise in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, exporting, retail and financial services.All businesses are looking to control their costs, while taking appropriate measures to mitigate risk as they grow. This demands a pragmatic and commercial approach, which we provide. We constantly question the extent of any risk and the financial implications for the client of any proposed arrangement. My experience in setting up my own business (Pourty International), as well as acting as Group Legal Counsel for Mulberry Group plc, have given me a great insight into the challenges faced by every size of business. I am able to combine this experience with my legal expertise to deliver expert, commercial and practical advice.
