With more than 30 years of practice in Washington, D.C., he has built strong relationships with federal regulators and is ranked nationwide in Government Contracts by Chambers USA (2014-2025).

Conducting internal investigations—whether prompted by government enforcement actions or internal whistleblowers—litigating under the False Claims Act’s qui tam provisions, conducting “legal pre-mortems” and developing practical compliance programs are key elements of his practice, along with advising on the FAR Mandatory Disclosure Rule. Jonathan frequently represents clients before the DOJ, GAO, GSA, various OIGs and SDOs, and other defense and civilian agencies. Cleared at the highest levels, he also counsels clients in classified matters.
