After 12 years of professional experience, Jon is a highly qualified litigation lawyer specialized in complex corporate disputes (litigation and arbitration) deriving form M&A transactions, shareholders agreements, private equity transactions, joint ventures, corporate liability actions, challenge of corporate resolutions, etc.

Jon also has broad experience in commercial and contractual litigation and arbitration in numerous sectors, such as automotive, industrial, e-commerce, real estate, or consumer law.

During the last years, Jon has advised several companies (as claimants and defendants) in antitrust litigation (i.e., private damage actions deriving from antitrust infringements, such as cartels).
