Firm: McWherter Scott Bobbitt

341 Cool Springs Boulevard, Suite 230 , Franklin , Tennessee 37067

Practice Areas: Business

One of the Mid-South’s Super Lawyers, Jonathan Bobbitt is a civil trial lawyer that has one singular focus - - to obtain the best possible result for his clients. Passionate, thoughtful, and relentless, this guy loves to spend his free time running 50-plus miles through mountains, deserts, and country roads. Those “ultra-experiences” have taught Jonathan the value of having the courage to take on challenges, the patience to stay the course and the creativity to solve problems along the way. Jonathan’s areas of practice include Insurance Claims and Business Disputes. But, whether it’s representing a victim of insurance claim denial or a hotly contested business dispute, Jonathan approaches his clients’ problems with passion, determination, and focus. Blessed with a mind that is both practical and creative, Jonathan holds an M.B.A. and relies on that business background to make sure his clients make smart decisions.. Look, it’s just a matter of fact that some cases need to be tried. On the other hand, most need to settle. Every now and then, a case that needs to be settled just has to be tried.  Whatever the case, Jonathan stands ready. Too often, lawyers will hurry past analyzing a solution to the client’s problem in their rush to prove that they are “right” on a particular point of law.  Sure, it’s great to be right…but it’s even better to solve problems. In his areas of practice, Jonathan must often cross the line from advocate to counselor to make sure that his clients not only receive outstanding legal work, but also unusually practical advice.. Real people need real solutions, and that’s what drives Jonathan in his practice. The success in his practice can be evidenced not only in the significant settlements he has secured for his clients but also his recognition as one of the Mid-South’s Super Lawyers in Employment Law and is rated AV Preeminent for ethical standards and legal ability by his peers. Talk with Jonathan and it won’t take you long to realize his passion for life, adventure, practicing law, and helping folks solve their problems. Oh, and with that unmistakable southern accent…it also won’t take you long to figure out he’s a Tennessee boy.  Born in Knoxville, raised in Jackson and now practicing and living in Franklin has engrained in Jonathan a strong affinity for Tennessee and Tennesseans. A few other interesting facts about Jonathan - - he can run faster and farther than any other lawyer at the Firm (by far), he’s got a gorgeous (and equally as adventurous) wife and he loves…LOVES…strong coffee.

I wanted to be a lawyer so that I could solve problems and help people. I see the legal profession as a service and my clients are at the center of everything I do. My goal for every legal matter is to build relationships and work together to find a way to achieve a client's goals.. As the daughter of an entrepreneur, I grew up working in a family-owned business and, as a result, I have a passion for helping businesses and the people that run them. I also know that starting and owning a business is a gutsy move made by people who have identified their goals and are willing to forge a path to achieve them. I see my role as building strong client relationships and sorting out the legal nuts and bolts of a situation so that clients are free to actually run their business.. Much of my work since becoming an attorney has been with companies in the new and constantly changing hemp industry. I love the challenge of keeping up with the constant changes that are taking place. I understand that in new businesses, particularly those in new industries, things move quickly and issues often arise without warning, making my devotion to clients and ability to think on my feet two of my best tools.. My approach to legal services offers flexible options for business formation, contracts, regulatory compliance in hemp and other industries, and advice. With a variety of fee structures and comprehensive packages for the different parts of a business’s life cycle, I'm happy to work with you to find the best solution for your specific needs.
