Jon represents a wide range of clients, including commercial home builders, investors, developers, lenders, and other small business owners in connection with their business and finance matters and is well-versed on residential and commercial real estate use and development.  Jon also represents small business owners in connection with the sale of their business or purchase of another business.

His days are mostly spent negotiating transaction documents, quarterbacking closings, and conducting due diligence, which includes title and survey issues. Jon also provides counsel on corporate governance, including business formations, operating and shareholder agreements, minutes and buy-out arrangements.

When he’s not in the office, Jon can be found spending time with his wife and four children, watching college football, or cooking.
