Jonathan Hyman

Jon joined Kohrman Jackson & Krantz in 2006. Prior to joining KJK, Jon developed a diverse background in innumerable litigation matters. He primarily concentrates his practice in the representation of companies in employment disputes and complex commercial matters, including litigation with terminated employees, disputes over trade secrets and non-competition agreements, and fiduciary and shareholder litigation. His representation extends beyond the courtroom, into various state and federal administrative agencies. Complementing his litigation practice, Jon also extensively advises individuals and companies on a wide-range of employment, human relations, and litigation issues. This role frequently requires Jon’s service as an author and speaker on myriad employment-related issues. In the last several years, he has written and spoken on topics ranging from preventing and investigating sexual harassment, other forms of employment discrimination, the Family Medical Leave Act, other wage and hour laws, employee background checks, the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, electronic discovery, and corporate document retention. Jon is admitted to practice in the State of Ohio, in addition to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the United States District Courts for the Northern District of Ohio, Southern District of Ohio, and Northern District of Illinois, and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Jon recently launched the Ohio Employer's Law Blog, where he regularly blogs on areas of interest to employers doing business in the State of Ohio. The blog is located at http://www.ohioemploymentlaw.blogspot.com. Jon has also been extensively quoted in the local and national media on employment matters, including in the last year several interviews in the National Law Journal, Business Insurance Magazine, Crain’s Cleveland Business, Inside Counsel, and Lawyer’s USA. He was also named a 2008 Ohio Rising Star Super Lawyer.
