Jonathan Pasternak

For more than 20 years, Jonathan Pasternak managed his own boutique law firm focused on restructuring and reorganization matters, leading its operations directly while carrying an active and voluminous caseload. Today, a distressed debt and commercial real estate advisor and consultant, he brings more than thirty years of experience in managing complex financial transactions to his work. Those two decades of firm leadership offer a clear view into the rest of his career. Running that firm meant working closely with clients, interested parties, other professionals, and court institutions through reorganizations and court-supervised proceedings. Two decades at the head of a specialized firm required considerable operational oversight, astuteness in client advisory work, leadership, and matter-level strategy. Jonathan Pasternak rose to those demands, and the experience strengthened his skills as both a practitioner and an organizational leader in the restructuring field. The firm sits within a broader 36-year career in restructuring and distressed debt, during which he represented parties across a wide range of industries. His primary area of specialization has been the reorganization and restructuring of private and public companies, and he has represented hundreds of individual and corporate clients. His expertise encompasses debtor and creditor representation, workouts, recapitalizations, asset sales, and complex court-supervised proceedings. Clients have included business owners, institutional stakeholders, and court-appointed representatives tasked with overseeing financially distressed companies.
