The Firm serves a variety of businesses, from prospering enterprises to major corporations.

With years of service in the corporate arena, Jon skillfully advises his clients on complex transactions such as the sale and purchase of businesses, the negotiation of contracts, and the implementation of internal agreements (i.e., shareholder agreements, operating agreements, and related governance agreements). He also advises businesses on a wide range of matters from promoting growth via strategic planning, counseling on litigation strategy and assisting with maintaining corporate compliance.
