Ian Jones

Ian is the founder of Spencer Shaw Solicitors. He qualified as a solicitor in 1991 having studied at the Chelmer Institute and the Chester College of Law. Ian had experience as a Partner and Head of Employment Law and Litigation with larger firms before setting up Spencer Shaw in 2007. He set up Spencer Shaw as he felt most solicitors at the time weren’t communicating in a way that suited the client. He wanted to make the process simple for clients, offering swift service and clear advice. Now that the practice has grown, Ian has oversight of all of our cases, offering support to our Consultant and Associate Solicitors. He also takes the lead on some complex cases. Ian has experience in all aspects of employment law and has a particular interest in unfair dismissal cases, disputes involving alleged breaches of restrictive covenants and negotiating settlements. Ian appears regularly in the Employment Tribunal. His experience includes taking claims on appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
