On Monday 17 September 1990, the Middle East was in turmoil following Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, the US Immigration Bill was moving forward in Congress and the US Supreme Court nominee David Souter was in the midst of his confirmation process. With somewhat less publicity, I walked up the steps of Bouverie House, 154 Fleet Street to begin my training contract at Paisner & Co. I really wasn’t sure the law was for me but, 35 years on, I am so happy that I persevered with it. Thank you to all the wonderful people whom I have met along the way and the lasting friendships which I have made at what is now BCLP. #legalcareer #continuity #legalprofession
Well done Jonny - you are one our greatest partners - another 35 years please ?!?!
Thank you Jonathan Morris for all you have done for BCLP over the years. You have been unstinting in your efforts, both in client-facing and leadership roles and it is a privilege to be your partner.
You are a BCLP Legend, Jonny and a good friend to so many of us. We are so lucky to count you as our partner
They’ve been lucky to have you since that day - 35 years of loyalty has paid off for Paisner/Berwin Leighton Paisner/BCLP as you have become one of the best connected lawyers in the City and in Israel. I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say a bad word about the firm, which I am taking as saying more about you than about the firm! Of course, some of us had a family member working for Paisner decades before you got there ….
Jonathan Morris: Jonny, you have always been and remain a model to emulate of acumen, professionalism, relationship building (and support) and selfless community service. The first 35 years are the hardest! Here’s to the next 35!🎉🍾🥂
Well done, Jonny, both on clocking up 35 years and on announcing it in a very amusing post! You're a tremendous colleague, someone I have learned to value greatly. Well done on everything you have done and will do. But your taste in football teams is, to say the least, dubious!
Congrats Jonny! What a wonderful reflection, and such a powerful reminder of how far dedication can take us
