Ian Jones

Solicitor and Experienced General Counsel

He has been a General Counsel and Company Secretary as well as a senior manager and lawyer at companies such as BT, BP and Thomson Reuters.

His humane approach encompasses culture, ethics and human behaviour has given numerous delegates a deeper insight into this vital and fascinating subject.
