Anthony Young—Jordans Corporate Law Limited

Anthony Young has joined the senior team at Bristol-based specialist law firm, Jordans Corporate Law Limited (JCL).

Anthony is a highly experienced corporate lawyer, and his appointment as head of corporate law, say Jordans, is a clear indication of the strong, continued growth at the firm. The company was launched in 2013 under the “Alternative Business Structure” arrangements, introduced to encourage new and innovative entrants into the legal market. 

Anthony trained and practised in the City at Ashurst and Charles Russell before moving to Bristol. He worked with Bevan Brittan where he became a partner, and then joined long-established Bristol firm Veale Wasbrough Vizards.

With Jordan’s, he will continue to advise on all aspects of corporate law, including M&A transactions, group re-organisations, joint ventures and shareholders arrangements as well as providing general listed and unlisted corporate governance advice. During his career, Anthony has worked on a wide range of transactions - from highly complex cross-border transactions through to growth acquisitions for local SME businesses.

Debbie Farman, director of legal practice at the firm, says: “I am delighted Anthony is joining us.  JCL has established an unrivalled reputation for providing specialist unbundled legal services to both the professional services and corporate market.  

“With his corporate transactional experience, Anthony’s appointment opens a whole new growth chapter for the firm - which is what our clients have been asking for. He will be a fantastic addition to the JCL senior team”.

Anthony says: “Like most lawyers, I have worked with Jordans for a long time, from my early years at Ashursts onwards.  They are a household name in the corporate legal sector and are arguably the leading business of their type, with a genuinely deep and impressive client base.

“There are many opportunities to exploit with JCL and its sister companies. I am really excited to be joining JCL at this point in their growth lifecycle.”
