JONATHAN B. SCHRIEDER
Jonathan has worked as a litigator since his call to the bar in 2000. He focuses his practice exclusively on advocacy, trials and arbitration matters. Jonathan became partner of a highly regarded civil litigation firm in 2008 and was managing partner of that firm between 2008 – 2013. Jonathan joined the partnership of ZTGH in 2020.
Jonathan has a special interest in jury trials and Estate Litigation matters and he is co-chair of the Estate Litigation practice group. Jonathan also works with insurance companies on complex and catastrophic claims and acts on behalf of insurance companies in disputes with other insurers. He has extensive experience in extinguishing fraudulent and questionable claims.
Jonathan has taken more than 150 trials, arbitrations, appeals, and other proceedings to verdict or decision. Outside of the courtroom, he provides pragmatic, sound, and straightforward advice. He also regularly appears at industry gatherings to deliver papers and speeches, and has been a featured speaker at conferences hosted by the Ontario Bar Association and Canadian Defence Lawyers.
Jonathan handles select estate and guardianship matters pro bono in aid of orphaned children and their surviving family members. He also provides pro bono civil law assistance through Pro Bono Law Ontario, a registered charity with a mandate to improve access to justice for low-income Ontarians.
Since 2022, Jonathan has been recognized by his peers for inclusion in the Best Lawyers of Canada list.
When away from his litigation practice, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons. He also enjoys tennis, playing piano, and poker.
