Among other noteworthy cases, Jonathan was lead counsel for Coca-Cola in PepsiCo v. Coca-Cola, a leading monopolization case under Section 2 of the Sherman Act. He also led the representation of American Express in United States v. Visa USA, defended Clear Channel in Heerwagen v. Clear Channel, co-authored the brief for the respondents in the important Supreme Court case Eastman Kodak v. Image Technical Services, and serves as lead defense counsel in several major class action litigations.

Jonathan was appointed by Congress in 2002 to serve on the Antitrust Modernization Commission, which was responsible for reviewing and recommending potential changes to the nation's antitrust laws, and which issued its report in April 2007. He now serves as a member of the ABA Antitrust Section's Council. He served as the editorial chair of the Antitrust Section's Antitrust Law Developments (6th ed.), published in 2007, and previously chaired a number of the Section's committees. Jonathan has written or edited numerous articles and books spanning the gamut of antitrust topics, including exclusionary practices, merger enforcement, government and other civil litigation matters, and cartel enforcement. He frequently speaks on antitrust subjects, and often is quoted by the press on competition matters.

Prior to joining Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Jonathan was a partner in Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld's New York office, where he co-chaired the firm's national antitrust practice. He also has been a partner at Coudert Brothers and Lord, Day & Lord.
