Jonathan Feder

Jonathan maintains a broad litigation practice with largely-unparalleled specialty in M&A and corporate governance litigation. His industry-leading experience taking deals through trial includes post-trial termination of a $6 billion acquisition for Mirae Asset in 2021 and enforcement of closing for Desktop Metal in 2025. In 2023, Jonathan exposed a “dodgy bargain” through in-court cross-examinations in another expedited deal-enforcement trial.  His recent representation of a foreign company in multi-jurisdictional expedited litigation successfully forced a complete change of control at their Delaware, Nevada, and Texas entities. Jonathan currently represents a California financial institution in litigation to terminate a failed merger and advises several other clients on litigation strategy in major pending deals. He also litigates high-profile corporate governance matters in the Delaware Court of Chancery. 

In his broader practice, Jonathan has obtained summary judgment for an insurer against bad faith claims (and obtained a multi-million dollar return of premiums paid), obtained a jury trial verdict for another insurer, defeated motions to dismiss and obtained key discovery for a cryptocurrency fund, and has repeatedly avoided prosecution for clients facing confidential government investigations.

Prior to joining the firm in 2015, Jonathan earned a Bachelors in Business Administration from Queens College of the City University of New York and then graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he also served on the board of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review.
