Jon counsels clients on a wide range of corporate matters, with a focus on complex corporate restructurings both in-court and out-of-court. 

Jon is a restructuring partner in the New York office. His clients include troubled companies, direct lenders, ad hoc groups, sponsors, asset managers, hedge funds, and other strategic investors. He is often consulted by his clients on insolvency and restructuring issues, including distressed credit scenarios (planning and response), exchange offers, distressed financings, distressed M&A, and special situations.

Jon has advised clients, both in-court and out-of-court, in matters involving airline, healthcare, pharmaceutical and medical devices, energy, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, technology, telecommunications, maritime shipping, trucking, and other transportation sectors.

In addition to his work on matters involving distressed assets, Jon provides general corporate counsel. He represents issuers and underwriters in public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, as well as early stage, venture capital, and other financings. Jon also advises businesses and owners on public and private mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and corporate partnering arrangements, and the negotiation and documentation of contracts, financial agreements with bankers and lenders, and other matters.
