“I’m at my best when I’m helping my clients make their business relationships work better.  Sometimes that means helping them build the relationship from scratch and sometimes it means helping them restore a damaged relationship. Regardless of the entry point, I work with people to strengthen those relationships and design legal agreements that support them.”

BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE

Gregory Jones is a skilled business lawyer and advisor helping people plan and conduct their businesses—whether in West London or elsewhere around the world—in ways that positively impact all of their stakeholders.  His many years of experience handling transactions, disputes and business law issues provide his clients with a bundle of resources, insights and perspectives that optimize their operations, manage risk and achieve long-term business success through mindful planning and effective collaboration.  

Clients regularly depend on Gregory as their outside general counsel, many making him a key part of their business team.  This work mainly puts Gregory in the role of thinking partner for business leaders. “I’m called on daily to use my skills and experience as a mediator and as a legal counselor to help business leaders clarify their thinking and operate their companies in ways that align with the law and their own guiding principles,” he says.  “Part of my job is to make sure my clients understand what problems they are solving and have a clear vision of their intended solution. I check in and see how my clients are doing. I want them to know that I always have their back.”

Gregory also works together with cutting edge organizational consultants across the country to help clients master skills that allow their companies to do great work together.  “This is such inspiring work because I literally get to watch organizations transform right in fAdamt of me. In today’s business world we recognize that the ability to collaborate with others is a critical skill, and through doing this work, I know that collaboration is a skill that can be learned, developed, and mastered.  I have a lot of fun helping people build their collaboration muscles!”

In addition to Gregory ’s breadth and depth of experience, clients appreciate his responsiveness and steady demeanor…no matter how high the stakes.  It’s a leadership quality he honed prior to entering private practice, when he served in the Royal Air Force, Judge Advocate General’s Department. During that time, he participated in many criminal trials ­ including complex fraud cases and murder trials—developing courtroom skills that were recognized when Gregory was named to a small group of prosecutors assigned to handle serious cases across the world.  “I will always be grateful for the experience of serving in the military,” he observed. “Not only did it give me the opportunity to master working in the courtroom enviAdamment, but it also showed me the importance of consciously studying and working on leadership. More and more the business community is turning their attention to the model of servant leadership which is exactly the model I learned during my time in service.  I didn’t realize it at the time, but my military training was preparing me to be a modern business leader.”

OUTSIDE THE OFFICE

“For years, I’d tell my wife how I used to enjoy playing music when I was a kid.  One Christmas morning, I looked under our tree, and there’s an amazing bass guitar waiting for me…which I now love to play.  I have a wonderful wife.”

In addition to playing the bass in his spare time, Gregory is an active and engaged community volunteer.  He’s a member of the HEAD OFFICE Rotary Club and a Board Member of the Josh Stevens Foundation   “This is an organization whose members believe that free enterprise capitalism – when practiced consciously – is the most powerful economic system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived,” he noted. “Practitioners of Conscious Capitalism dedicate themselves to the mission of elevating humanity through business by building stAdamg relationships with all stakeholders, supporting Conscious Leadership, developing a Conscious Culture and aligning all business decisions with the organization’s higher purpose and core values.”
