Originally from Montreal, Jonathan completed a Bachelor of Arts in History at the University of Pennsylvania. He attended the University of Windsor Law School and graduated with a Bachelor of Laws in 1995 and was admitted to the bar in 1997. It was while articling at MacMillan Rooke Boeckle that he first worked with David Zuber before re-joining David at his new firm in 2000.
Jonathan has appeared before all levels of the Ontario Courts, as well as before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal. He has argued such legal issues as the applicability of all-risks builder's policy; trespass to property as defence to occupier's liability; the applicability of excluded driver endorsement; and the enforceability of limitation periods.
Jonathan's practice is in insurance property and casualty and personal injury litigation. He has a breadth of experience in motor vehicle and accident benefits, commercial general liability, business and home owner's policy cases, including automobile accidents, slips and falls, fire, flooding, oil spills and construction-related losses, as well as coverage issues.
Amongst the cases he is involved in are the fall of a young child from an apartment window, alleged damage to a home from nearby construction of a school, and litigation from a multi-vehicle pile-up in winter on a 400 series highway.
Jonathan is a member of the Advocates Society and the Canadian Defence Lawyers.
