While at UCLA, he participated in the law school’s Moot Court Honors Program and was a member of the Pacific Basin Law Journal. After graduation, he served as a law clerk to the Honorable Edward D. Jellen, United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, from 1996 to 1998.

Jonathan’s practice includes representation of debtors, secured creditors (including debtor in possession lenders), committees, acquirers and other parties in chapter 11 cases, “out-of-court” restructures and work-outs, acquisitions, foreclosures, and assignments for the benefit of creditors.
He also regularly represents agents and lenders, borrowers and others in a broad array of credit transactions, including syndicated, single-bank, secured, unsecured, senior and subordinated credits and credit enhancement facilities. Jonathan is also a litigator and, when necessary, he can be very aggressive.
