Jonathan L. Shepard

Jonathan Shepard’s legal career is a testament to his versatility, backed by an elite education at Princeton University and Yale Law School. Licensed to practice in New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida, Jonathan has built a reputation for excellence in major markets from New York City to Boca Raton. His journey began with a focus on community advocacy, where he protected housing rights for elderly and minority tenants. He then transitioned into a high-impact role as the chief of the legal branch for the EPA’s Region 3 Enforcement Division, where he led some of the nation’s earliest and most significant actions to protect clean air and water. This foundation in public service and federal enforcement eventually led him to the corporate sector, where he served as general counsel for a durable medical equipment company. Jonathan was instrumental in scaling that business from a single local storefront into a national online powerhouse. He navigated the complexities of capital formation, worked closely with private equity funds, and ultimately managed the successful sale of the company. Today, he uses that deep well of experience to advise boards of directors on corporate governance and regulatory compliance. Whether dealing with intricate business structures or navigating government regulations, Jonathan brings a seasoned, practical perspective that only comes from decades of high-level practice.
