For over 25 years, Jonathan has practiced in some of the most competitive environments the legal profession has to offer. Working in several prominent law firms in both New York and London, Jonathan assisted Fortune 500 companies (including some of the largest tech, pharmaceutical and biotech companies in the world) with complex intellectual property transactions and litigation.
In 2013, Jonathan moved from New York City to San Diego, and instantly fell in love with the active environment and athletic lifestyles led by many who live here. As an avid triathlete, Jonathan was also thrilled to be based where the sport was founded.
In 2014, Jonathan began his private law practice in San Diego, working with established businesses and start-ups alike on a broad range of legal matters, including intellectual property, commercial transactions and agreements, e-commerce, privacy and data protection, and litigation and dispute resolution.
Jonathan has also taken on the role of General Counsel for a few of his clients, working directly with executive management in helping to get their existing “legal house” in order, while assisting with any and all new legal matters that they encounter, including corporate restructuring and major capital transactions.
Jonathan prides himself on leveraging his “Big Law” experience and training when helping his clients, and doing so in a sensible manner, ever mindful of his clients’ legal budgets. Moreover, Jonathan believes that every client – no matter big or small – deserves a high level of personalized attention when dealing with their legal issues. Jonathan has been recognized as a San Diego Top Attorney by the San Diego Daily Transcript, and awarded Best of the Bar by the San Diego Business Journal. In his free time, Jonathan loves cooking, staying active, and spending time with his Australian Cattledog, Maddie.
