Jonathan Wolfman

Retired Partner

Jonathan Wolfman developed a broad corporate and securities practice advising issuers, underwriters, and companies across technology, consumer products, industrial products, financial services, and biotechnology sectors. His work included representing purchasers and sellers in mergers, tender offers, and asset transactions, as well as guiding clients through initial and follow‑on offerings of equity and debt securities. Over the course of his career, he became known for his steady counsel on disclosure, reporting, and regulatory issues central to public‑company governance, concluding his long tenure at WilmerHale with his retirement in 2025.

Mr. Wolfman also contributed to the legal community through active participation in leading professional organizations. He held membership in the ABA’s Committee on Federal Regulation of Securities, where he served as co‑chair of the Subcommittee on Disclosure and Continuous Reporting, and was a member of the Society of Corporate Secretaries & Governance Professionals. His thought leadership included authoring a corporate governance chapter for PLI’s Initial Public Offerings: A Practical Guide to Going Public and serving as co‑editor of The Practitioner’s Guide to the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act published by the American Bar Association.
