“Floyd Abrams meets David Boies with a side order of Hunter S. Thompson." So says the professional journal Lawdragon of Jonathan Sherman, who has practiced law for three decades. Lawdragon 500 Lawyer Limelight (Sept. 2014), http://www.lawdragon.com/lawyer-limelights/jonathan-sherman/. Calling him a “nimble advocate with a sharp legal mind” who “can handle any task”—with a “passion” for his work that “bubbles forth with astonishing ferocity”—the newspaper mused that “the only thing more interesting than being Jonathan Sherman is perhaps to be one of his clients.”For those clients, Jonathan has tried cases, argued federal and state court appeals, and resolved multi-party disputes—particularly those involving securities, financial institutions, corporate governance, defamation, intellectual property, unfair competition, trade secrets, antitrust and free speech and press matters. His clients have comprised an eclectic mix: from mining to media companies, finance to fashion entrepreneurs, reinsurers to hedge funds to on-line gaming companies, and political figures and cultural critics, among others. At ease when his work is under intense scrutiny--three years out of law school, he represented Court TV to preserve televised coverage of the OJ Simpson criminal proceedings--Jonathan is one of the nation's most experienced defenders of the public’s right to information about government. Jonathan has twice published op-ed pieces in The New York Times. He has taught at Yale, Stanford, and Fordham Law School, and lectured in London, Brussels, Budapest and around the U.S.
