Jon is the Managing Partner of our sister firm, Trust Law. He brings over 30 years experience in law and management to the role. Jon has a unique combination of law firm and in-house experience, and has a record of obtaining favorable results for his clients in a wide variety of matters. For 20 years – 13 as a partner – he worked in the Washington, D.C. office of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. Over time, he has represented Fortune 500 companies such as IBM, AT&T, Albertsons, and Continental Airlines, as well as other large corporate clients, in high stakes litigation.

Jon has significant hands-on experience in all facets of the litigation process. This includes trial (first chair), discovery, motions practice, alternative dispute resolution, settlement, and appeals. After leaving Akin Gump for in-house practice, he held several general counsel and other senior roles with both defense and commercial companies. Additionally, he directed the legal function and served as an integral member of sophisticated business management teams.

The knowledge and experience he gained as in-house lawyer has enabled him to offer clients outsourced general counsel services at a fraction of the market cost. He offers assistance with risk management, commercial transactions, intellectual property, government contracts, human resources/employment law, and internal investigations.

Jon also believes in making a substantive commitment to the community. He currently sits on the Make-a-Wish Foundation Mid Atlantic Region Board and is pro bono counsel to several veteran’s support organizations.
