Jonathan E. “Jonny” Algor represents individuals and companies in high-stakes criminal and regulatory matters, as well as complex commercial and international disputes.

Jonny defends multinational public companies, SPACs, hedge funds, private equity and financial services firms, and executives against claims such as securities and bank fraud, foreign bribery, money laundering, and CFIUS violations. He has represented prominent individuals and companies in arbitrations, litigations, and trials, as well as in investigations by such agencies as U.S. Department of Justice, the Department of Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Jonny is a former prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice, where he served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the National Security and Cybercrime section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, handling prosecutions—including numerous jury trials, investigations, and appeals— involving terrorism, cybercrime, economic sanctions, foreign agent registration (FARA), foreign counterintelligence, export control violations, racketeering, money laundering, and bank fraud. His background gives him a deep insight into federal investigative processes and enforcement priorities, which now informs his defense of clients facing government scrutiny and helps companies and individuals navigate complex and high-profile crises.

Before joining the Department of Justice, Jonny was a litigator at two international law firms and clerked for the Hon. Raymond M. Kethledge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  Prior to his legal career, Jonny, a graduate of West Point, served in a variety of leadership roles in the U.S. Army, including two tours of duty in Iraq, where he was twice awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service in combat.
