Jonathan Rome has been Fameco’s in-house counsel for more than seven years. There is no doubt that Jonathan has a sharp legal mind and there is no doubt that his negotiating skills are second to none. Fameco relies on Jonathan for more than just his legal expertise. He is a member of Fameco’s Executive Committee and he is often asked to lead educational sessions on lease clauses and listing agreements, among other things. Salespeople and employees alike rely on him for his sound judgment and objective advice. Jonathan has become so ingrained into the fabric of Fameco and he is such a wealth of knowledge, that he is frequently approached to provide insight, opinions and expertise. He has the ability to solve the legal dilemmas of the moment and quickly turn to engaging a group of Fameconians in a completely unrelated, light hearted conversation. He gets our vote for Best Attorney.
