Jonathan L. Greenblatt is the Chairman and co-founder of Legal Innovators (legalinnovators.com), an alternative legal service provider. Jonathan co-founded Legal Innovators to bring innovation to the legal industry where it’s really needed: in the recruitment, hiring, talent development, pricing, inclusion, and diversity of junior legal talent, as well as the overall profitability of law firms. The market unsustainable salaries being paid to a small segment of the junior legal talent market is suppressing opportunity for other high quality, talented young attorneys, including lawyers from underrepresented segments of the population, and creating friction between lawyers and their clients. Legal Innovators’ business model is designed to creatively address these challenges.

As the Chairman of the company Jonathan leads client acquisition and retention, the development of new services and is meaningfully involved in the overall mapping strategy for the company. He also plays an active role in training and mentoring Legal Innovators’ junior attorneys. Jonathan is a retired partner of Shearman & Sterling LLP with extensive experience in commercial international arbitration and litigation. At Shearman, Jonathan served as a Member of the Policy Committee, co-deputy managing partner of the International Arbitration Group, cooffice managing partner of the Washington office, and co-founder and head of the Diversity Committee. As an advocate, Jonathan has handled many high value, complex commercial cases
for global clients.
