Jon Turner QC
Barrister, Monckton Chambers
“Jon Turner QC is lauded as “an incisive, commercially focused and adaptable team player” who hoovers up much of the best work in the market” (Chambers, 2011). He is the first ranked silk in The Legal 500’s European and Competition category and a Chambers “Star Performer”: “Turner ‘combines approachability with prodigious intellect and a willingness to get stuck in’. Turner’s ‘ability both to be part of, and ultimately, to lead a team into court’ made him ‘one of the foremost QCs at the competition Bar‘. Chambers 2009 states: “Jon Turner QC is “a blessed barrister,” according to clients. As well as being “extremely bright and brilliant at recalling evidence,” he enjoys the untrammelled respect of both peers and clients“.
Jon is one of the finest advocates in Competition, EU, and Telecoms/Utilities law, as well as Commercial, Public, and Environmental law. He is admired for his “incredible analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of a case, as well as his powerful cross-examination skills” (Chambers, 2010), and as a “courtroom king who can dance round opponents” (Chambers, 2011). Jon handles cases regularly in the appellate courts as well as at first instance, and is a first choice for advocacy in the European Courts.
