Jonathan Sperling is a trial lawyer with twenty-five years of experience handling complex business disputes, including contract disputes, securities and M&A litigation, derivative lawsuits and other claims for breach of fiduciary duty, and disputes over corporate control. His trial experience includes victories in federal court, before regulatory agencies, and in arbitration, and his piercing cross-examination style once led an adversary’s CEO to settle the case in the middle of Mr. Sperling’s deposition of him rather than allow the examination to continue.
Repeatedly named by Billboard to its list of the nation’s Top Music Lawyers, Mr. Sperling heads the firm’s Music Industry practice and has represented record companies and publishers in some of the most significant disputes over distribution of content through new media. He also has substantial experience handling investigations and advising boards on crisis management, and is a regular advisor to multiple family offices with assets of a billion dollars or more.
Mr. Sperling has been named a New York Super Lawyer for seven consecutive years, and in 2018 was named a Client Service All-Star by BTI Consulting.
