Jon joined FRP in 2020 as a Partner in our Forensic Services and Corporate Finance teams, following the acquisition by FRP of the JDC Group (comprising JDC Corporate Finance and Walton Dodge Forensic) which Jon founded in 2004. He is based in our Norwich office. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1991 and since then has specialised in forensic services and corporate finance and related specialist taxation services. Jon specialises in share and business valuation cases - with particular experience and expertise in the Family Courts. He first gave expert valuation evidence in the High Court in 1995 and has given expert evidence in a very wide range of valuation cases over the following 28 years. Having been appointed as an expert on over 850 occasions, Jon is now often instructed in more complex and/or higher value cases. In 2023, Jon was instructed in 32 new valuation matters, most of which were in the Family Court. In addition to his expert witness work, Jon has been the lead M&A adviser in well over 100 successfully completed transactions, including eight successfully completed deals in 2023. His ongoing M&A work includes company sales, acquisitions, capital restructuring, MBO and private equity deals and perfectly complements his work as an expert valuer. Jon was ranked in Chambers and Partners’ Litigation Support Guide in 2023 and was noted as being “extremely thorough and efficient”...”always pragmatic, proportionate and has fantastic judgement”. He was also ranked by Business Weekly in 2023 as one of the top 10 Forensic Accountants in the UK.
