Jon Anderson is a senior associate in Duane Morris’ Corporate Practice Group, where he counsels clients on domestic and international mergers and acquisitions, private placements, and a broad range of complex corporate transactions. He advises boards, executives, and investors on deal structuring, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and securities law matters, including SEC filings and exchange listing requirements.

Jon brings a depth of experience from previous roles at national and boutique law firms, where he represented clients through every stage of the deal process—drafting and negotiating transaction documents, conducting due diligence, and leading closings. His practice spans sectors and structures, from traditional M&A to reverse mergers and joint ventures.

Jon earned his LL.M. in International and European Business Law from Radboud University in the Netherlands, and his J.D. from The Pennsylvania State University’s Dickinson School of Law, where he was a full-tuition merit scholar. Jon is active in the Atlanta legal community through the Atlanta Bar Association and the State Bar of Georgia’s Corporate Counsel and Business Law Sections.
