Who We Are

Jonathan Leavitt is the founder and principal attorney of Capital Counsel, where he advises businesses, investors, professional practices, and entrepreneurs on corporate and real estate transactions. His practice focuses on business formation and governance, commercial agreements, real estate acquisitions and leasing, and strategic legal counsel for growing organizations.

Before founding Capital Counsel, Jonathan practiced at boutique law firms in Los Angeles and San Diego, advising clients on sophisticated corporate, real estate, and commercial transactions. His work included drafting and negotiating a broad range of agreements, including merger and acquisition agreements, asset and stock purchase agreements, shareholder, operating, and partnership agreements, commercial leases, financing documents, and other complex commercial arrangements.

Jonathan’s experience also includes representing clients in disputes involving real estate, partnership and ownership conflicts, commercial contracts, and financing matters. Having worked on both transactional matters and contested business issues, he approaches drafting and negotiation with an appreciation for how agreements are interpreted, enforced, and challenged when disputes arise.

Jonathan is also a co-founder and executive of a multi-location, multistate network of healthcare services companies, where he oversees corporate organization, regulatory compliance, contracting, employment matters, and strategic business operations. This operating experience informs his legal counsel, allowing him to advise clients with an understanding of the practical, financial, and operational considerations that shape business decisions.

Jonathan earned his Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business and also studied business and management at Università Bocconi in Milan. He is admitted to practice law in California.
