California Bar No. 247415 · Admitted December 4, 2006
Profile
Jonathan Ben Kaplan is an experienced commercial litigator whose practice increasingly moved toward creditor enforcement and asset tracing.
His career illustrates an important distinction in financial litigation: establishing liability and recovering money are often two separate challenges.
Jonathan became particularly interested in the second.
At Harven Rich, his practice focuses on tracing, enforcement planning, and identifying practical routes toward recovery.
Career Story
Jonathan's turning point came after obtaining a favorable result in a commercial dispute only to discover that the opposing entity held few obvious assets.
The enforcement process became more complicated than the original litigation.
That experience led him toward creditor remedies, financial investigation, and asset tracing.
