General Information:
Jonathan has handled enough hard-boiled court cases to know the benefits of mediation and arbitration. As a litigator and contract lawyer since 1975 at solicitors Ince & Co in London and Hamburg, he has seen at first hand the commercial side of the maritime industry, energy, insurance, international trade and commerce. His experience has led him to champion the use of ADR and arbitration in these sectors, to enable people quickly and cost-effectively to put disputes behind them and get on with their business. He also mediates and arbitrates in other fields and is happy to do so in any.
Who’s Who Legal (2009) says about Jonathan: “Jonathan Lux leads the voting worldwide, with unanimous praise coming from all corners of the globe. Head of the firm’s (Ince & Co) logistics team, he is recognised for his alternative dispute resolution capabilities”. “His skills and integrity mark him out as one of the best I have every come across”.
