Jason sees his return to the firm akin to coming home.
“Having been born and raised in Newcastle, I have a keen interest in contributing to the community,” Jason said.
“Re-joining Baker Love is an opportunity to give back to Newcastle in a professional capacity. The history of Baker Love is closely linked with Newcastle’s own growth and development, and the firm will no doubt be a key partner for individuals and businesses in the region as the city transforms into an emerging global city.
“Working with Baker Love will allow me to provide my clients with the best possible level of service. The depth of skills and experience within the firm has given Baker Love an outstanding reputation among Novocastrians.
“I am delighted to be working with such a talented group of people, and for a firm that has such strong links with the community.”
