Dean Jones

Dean Jones, a partner at Baker Jones, has been practising law since 1989 following his graduation from Melbourne University. He began his career at two of Melbourne's prominent law firms, where he honed his expertise in property, liquor licensing, commercial advice, trusts law, and litigation. Over the years, Dean refined his skills in commercial litigation, debt recovery, contract disputes, and insolvency law, becoming actively involved in the initial applications of voluntary administration legislation in 1993. This involvement laid the foundation for a thriving practice managing complex insolvency cases across bankruptcies and liquidations. Collaborating with leading accountants and insolvency practitioners allowed Dean to effectively serve clients facing appointments of controllers, administrators, and trustees. With a practice that has evolved over time, Dean now encompasses a broader spectrum of commercial law, taking a keen interest in succession planning. His role extends beyond practising; he trains and supervises upcoming lawyers while managing his own business interests. Dean's repertoire has expanded to include criminal law, probate, and Will disputes, offering comprehensive services to his clients. His in-depth legal expertise, combined with his dedication to commercial and insolvency law, positions him as a notable figure in the Greater Melbourne Area's legal landscape.
