Jenner & Block—Will Jones

Special counsel joins London public law and crisis management practice

Jenner & Block LLP has announced another addition to its London team. Will Jones joins the London public law and crisis management practice and the firm’s global hearing preparation practice as special counsel. 

Will has a distinguished track record in advising clients on complex legal and regulatory challenges, in particular in the areas of public law, public inquiries, public procurement, and crisis management. He also has deep experience in handling commercial disputes for clients, especially those in highly regulated industries, such as the healthcare and life sciences, technology, media, financial services, and defence spaces. Notably, he has represented clients in many of the UK’s major public inquiries, including most recently the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, the Thirlwall Inquiry, and the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry.

A solicitor-advocate, Will is fluent in Spanish and has completed secondments at a leading pharmaceutical company and at the Madrid office of a global law firm. Will also has an active pro bono practice, and he has represented NGOs, charities and advocacy groups on issues ranging from child refugees’ rights to the legal impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on children and young people.

'Will’s deep experience in public law and crisis management aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of our clients,' said Christine Braamskamp, London Office Managing Partner. 'Our strategic growth strategy continues to be focused on delivering exceptional results for our clients. Will’s track record and background adds bench strength to our existing client offering and I am delighted that he has chosen Jenner & Block to further develop his career.'
  
'This is consistent with our strategy to hire the best lawyers to serve our clients’ most complex legal and reputational needs. I have worked closely with Will for many years, I value him immensely and am delighted to be building this team with someone of his calibre,' added Joanna Ludlam, chair of Jenner & Block’s London public law and crisis management practice. 'His ability to navigate high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional matters will be a tremendous asset to the team and to our clients.'
 
"I’m pleased to be joining such a talented and collaborative team at Jenner & Block,” said Will. “The firm has a standout reputation for tackling complex challenges with creativity, clarity, and strategic insight. Its commitment to excellence and delivering real value for clients is a huge draw, and I’m excited to contribute to its continued growth in London."
