Jonathan Carson

Jonathan Carson is a dynamic, engaging Bankruptcy expert bringing insight and enthusiasm to his commentary on current bankruptcy news and developments. Drawing on his experience as a corporate-restructuring professional and award-winning entrepreneur, he serves as Co-CEO of Stretto, the largest technology business serving the bankruptcy and insolvency industries. He is a professor at Michigan Law School, guest lecturer on both corporate restructuring as well as on entrepreneurship and leadership at universities and law schools around the country, and he frequently speaks with the media on topics relevant to his expertise.

Jonathan began his career as a corporate-restructuring attorney with Kirkland & Ellis and leveraged his legal expertise to launch Kurtzman Carson Consultants (KCC), a technology firm that redefined the administration of large Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. He and his co-founder, Eric Kurtzman, successfully grew KCC to become the market leader in its space, and their entrepreneurial success earned them widespread recognition, including the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Carson and Kurtzman sold KCC in 2009, and after a brief stint on the corporate sidelines, they re-emerged in 2017 to continue their shared vision resulting in the building of Stretto, a market-leading technology and services partner serving legal and financial markets.
