Johnson Law Group (JLG) has bolstered its London office with the appointment of Jon Beresford, a very experienced group and commercial litigator, as it ramps up its expansion across the UK consumer litigation market.
With more than two decades of experience handling large-scale High Court commercial and group litigation, Jon brings a wealth of expertise to the team. His background includes working on landmark group actions at Harcus Sinclair and he was later one of the founding partners of Harcus Parker, a specialist group litigation firm.
Jon’s appointment comes at a time of rapid growth for Johnson Law Group in the UK, as it positions itself as a major player in the national consumer litigation sector.
Jamie Patton, Managing Director at Johnson Law Group, commented:
"We’re thrilled to welcome Jon to the JLG London office. His wealth of experience in group actions and complex litigation generally will ensure he will be a great asset to the team. Jon’s arrival underpins JLG’s ongoing commitment to expansion in the consumer litigation space as we strive to be one of the major players in this area of law and a national presence."
Jon said: “I’m delighted to be joining JLG at this time and I’m very much looking forward to working with the team to grow the firm in the future.”
JLG first established a presence in the UK in 2020, building on its 30-year track record as a leading name in mass tort litigation across the United States. It now represents thousands of claimants across multiple consumer claims, including mis-sold car finance, diesel emissions and diesel particulate filter claims.
