Introducing our Pre-Pupillage Officer, Jonathan Binns.

Jonathan was called to the Bar in 2023 and is currently working pre-pupillage at Stewarts Law within the Catastrophic Injury Department. He brings valuable practical insight and a clear commitment to developing a career at the Bar.

Originally from the North-East, near Middlesbrough, Jonathan moved to Leeds for university and has remained there since. He intends to practise on the Northern and North Eastern Circuits following pupillage, with a focus on medical negligence and personal injury work.
