George Harrison

George joined The Jonathan Lea Network as an intern in January 2022. George has since progressed to become a solicitor at the firm on 1 March 2025, qualifying via the SQE route.

George completed his Master’s of Law (LL.M) at King’s College London, specialising in banking law. At King’s, he also explored various human rights law topics, including modern slavery, refugee law, and transnational human rights litigation. His final thesis focused on English law’s approach to ‘informed consent to medical treatment,’ critically assessing the Supreme Court’s decision in Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board [2015] UKSC 11 and comparing it with approaches in other jurisdictions.
