Career

Jordan studied English Literature and French at University College London, before going on to study law in France. Upon his return to the UK, he completed the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and Legal Practice Course (LPC) at BPP Law School.

His career has seen him previously work for an international law firm, where he experienced working on disputes and litigation, M&A and commercial/corporate matters.

Jordan trained at Longmores, where he advised clients on a range of issues throughout the firm’s commercial departments, developing a solid foundation in the legal challenges that businesses encounter.  This cross-department experience enables Jordan to approach clients’ issues with a well-rounded perspective that he brings to ever matter he works on.

Community

Jordan is a member of the ELA (Employment Lawyers Association) and LawCare, a mental health charity for the legal sector.  Jordan is also an active participant of LawNet, where he regularly attends workshops with other junior commercial solicitors.

Personal interests

Outside of work, Jordan is a keen tennis fan, and continues to improve his trilingual skills by speaking French and Spanish. Naturally, his skills with other languages mean that he is also a keen traveller, but when he’s not globetrotting, he also enjoys reading and spending quality time with his friends and family.
