Jonathan joined Ventures in June 2022.
Having grown up in a family that ran a small business, Jonathan has a particular affinity for people with the courage to start their own business. With his legal background often revolving around assisting people to start companies, he is keenly aware of the impediments people can encounter- not least the need for legal guidance- so the opportunity to get involved with Ventures and help people who might otherwise not have access to such assistance particularly appealed to him.
Jonathan Shallow is a partner in the Seattle office of K&L Gates. He is a corporate lawyer whose practice focuses on taking clients from formation to exit. His work includes mergers and acquisitions, financings, joint ventures and divestitures, as well as regularly advising clients on the multitude of matters they face on a day-to-day basis. He has worked with domestic and international clients across a wide variety of industries.
From Ireland originally, Jonathan moved to New York with the intention of returning to Ireland after a few years but moved to Seattle in 2014 instead. A lawyer by trade, he enjoys travel, cycling, watching the Seattle Storm and hanging out with family and friends.
