Jon Barratt

Director

Private Client

Jon Barratt

I’ve dedicated the majority of my career to assisting entrepreneurial and internationally connected individuals, guiding them through their UK and international tax exposure.

Jon has over a decade of experience of working with entrepreneurs, their families and their businesses. Given the complexity of the UK tax system and its interaction with overseas jurisdictions, Jon works holistically with clients to find the best solutions for both the client and their business.

Through the development of Jon’s relationships with clients, he helps them to maintain and structure their wealth tax efficiently. He also acts as a commercial sounding board for their businesses and other tax considerations including the generational transition of wealth.

Outside of work, Jon enjoys travelling and scoring well over 100 every time he plays golf.
