Well-respected for his depth of experience and his strong following nationally, Jonathan McCullough is noted by clients as a “stellar practitioner”, “a great strategist and a pleasure to work with”.

Co-head of the firm's corporate department, Jonathan has been practicing corporate and securities law for more than 35 years. A focus of his practice is private equity transactions, acting on behalf of both fund sponsors and institutional investors in organizing domestic and international private equity funds to invest in buyouts, mezzanine, venture capital, merchant banking, infrastructure and timber assets. He is familiar with all aspects of structuring, negotiating and completing such investments and with standards for investment policies, fees, returns and governance in this emerging asset class. Additionally, he has significant experience in assisting such funds with transactions, including investments, mergers and acquisitions, recapitalizations and exits.

Jonathan was a founding partner of McCullough O’Connor Irwin LLP prior to Bennett Jones and his firm joining forces in 2018.
