Jonathon Reinisch represents companies and individuals in high-stakes disputes and government investigations, including commercial lawsuits, employment conflicts and cases involving contracts, trade secrets or intellectual property.
He also defends clients facing inquiries by the Department of Justice, the SEC and other government agencies, and he helps them respond to cybersecurity incidents.
Jonathon represents clients in the financial services, technology, media, consumer products and other industries. His clients are often business leaders or individuals facing government scrutiny who need a trusted advocate with trial and investigation experience.
He prioritizes efficient and effective solutions that protect business operations and reputations. For litigation, that means evaluating settlement options versus trial strategies in light of the client’s business goals. For investigations or data breaches, that means providing fast, clear guidance to minimize disruption to the client’s business.
Jonathon investigates facts rigorously, distills complex issues into clear narratives and communicates effectively with his clients, courts and regulators.
Clients value my ability to de-escalate tense situations, whether during an internal investigation, a government inquiry, or a data security crisis.
