Jonathan Fox

Having successfully led a wide range of professionals, firms and their clients for over 20 years, in 2015 Jonathan set up his own consultancy, drawing on his experience of running law firms, a large set of Chambers and being elected the first non-accountant managing partner to run a top 20 (12th in UK) accountancy practice. He is the only business professional globally to have been either the CEO, COO or elected managing partner with overall responsibility for such a diverse group of professionals, their businesses and clients.

With client centric insight, coupled with his extensive experience of running businesses that depend heavily on their people and the service they provide, Jonathan provides business leaders with guidance both at a strategic and also operational level.

Jonathan is a regular speaker at conferences on the management and development of professional services firms.

Having set up his own consultancy in 2015, Jonathan is based internationally with a carefully selected group of clients in the UK and overseas. He joined Napthens in 2022.

Prior to his consultancy role, Jonathan’s career included being elected the Managing Partner and COO of Saffery Champness; CEO of St Philips Chambers, the second largest Chambers in the country; CEO of private client centric London law firm Collyer Bristow; and prior to this, Head of Marketing for what is now, the international law firm DLA. A graduate of Leeds Business School, Jonathan’s career journey began with a major UK retailer.
