Partner
Jonathan Frankel is a Partner of GTC Law and is head of both our Civil Litigation and Private Client departments.
Jonathan's litigation experience covers contentious matters in the County Court and High Court, as well as in the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. He has been successful in reaching favourable settlements via Alternative Dispute Resolutions, most notably during formal mediation sessions. Concerning litigation, Jonathan has considerable experience in a wide range of both contentious and non-contentious matters including; Housing and Landlord & Tenant, Professional Negligence, Debt Recovery, Contractual disputes, Negligence and Nuisance cases, Commercial and Residential Property disputes, and contentious probate and inheritance act claims.
Jonathan has also successfully developed a specialism in Leasehold Reform work. He is able to represent you comprehensively from start to finish on hostile claims for lease extensions, or claims to purchase the freeholds (collective enfranchisement) of both flats under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 and houses under the Leasehold Reform Act 1967. Disputes regarding a leaseholder's managing agent or service charges, Rights to Manage and Tenants Rights of First Refusal often take up the bulk of his time.
When Jonathan doesn't have his contentious hat on, he is usually working on a substantial private client case load involving Wills & Probate, Powers of Attorney and Deputyship applications within the jurisdiction of the Court of Protection. Jonathan deals with matters thoroughly and conscientiously to enable the best outcome for his clients. He will not be intimidated by hostile opponents and will drive the hard bargain forward when a favourable deal is likely to be obtained.
