Jonathan Burchfield
Jonathan Burchfield became a partner at Stone King Sewell solicitors in May 2006, as part of a career that has concentrated almost exclusively on charity matters since the early 1990s. His work focuses on advising charities on all aspects of charity law and practice, and on their corporate governance.
He joined NCVO’s Charity Law Review Advisory Group shortly before Christmas 2011, and is the chair of the sub-committee tasked with looking at the future of the Charity Commission.
Before starting at Stone King Sewell, he was a partner with Nabarro Nathanson, whilst also serving for 12 years on the executive committee of the Charity Law Association. He is also a trustee of Creativity, Culture and Education, and of the Tubney Charitable Trust.
