Jonathan Amar

Jon Amar, an associate in Goldberg Segalla’s Princeton office, has significant experience defending long-term care and post-acute facilities in professional and general liability matters in state, federal, and alternative dispute resolution forums.

Jon also provides strategic day-to-day business and regulatory advice to health care clients to help foster risk management solutions to help avoid or mitigate future claims.

He is a graduate of the Long Term Care Power Lawyers Program, an intensive six-month program focusing on a hypothetical fact pattern, designed by veteran long-term care attorneys to build trial- and case-handling skills.

In addition, Jon’s practice includes counseling employers on employment law matters and defending employers in employment litigation brought in federal and state courts.
