Jonathan K. Ross focuses on resolving complex disputes in federal courts, bringing a practical, results-oriented approach to cases that require sound judgment and strategic execution. A trial lawyer and civil litigator, he focuses on multi-party litigation for institutional clients, including matters with substantial operational and financial exposure. Before joining Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, Jonathan spent more than a decade with the U.S. Department of Justice, most recently as Senior Litigation Counsel in the Civil Division, where he led strategy in nationally significant cases and argued in district courts and courts of appeals nationwide.

Jonathan has extensive experience managing large-scale litigation under significant time and operational pressure. He leads legal teams in sprawling class actions, routinely handling emergency hearings and appeals on expedited schedules. He works with clients at every stage of a case, from early assessment through discovery, motion practice, trial, and appeal, with a demonstrated ability to position cases for the strongest outcomes. He also routinely oversees complex discovery matters, negotiating discovery scope and protocols, preparing senior officials for depositions and trial, and coordinating the management and production of sensitive evidentiary records.

In addition to his commercial practice, Jonathan represents individuals and organizations in pro bono matters, including family law, personal injury, and nonprofit formation. He began his legal career as a law clerk to United States Immigration Judges through the Attorney General’s Honors Program.
