About Jon David
Jon David Rogers builds his work on a pair of liberal arts degrees and a law degree that he earned at the start of the 21st century. He completed dual undergraduate degrees at American University in 1995, earning a B.A. in International Affairs and a B.A. in Justice. He then went on to receive his J.D. from the University of Denver in 2001.
His path has taken him through both public service and private practice. In 2021 he served as a Lawyer Advisor at the United States Small Business Administration. That year-long role placed him inside a federal agency legal office during a moment when small business policy and regulatory questions were highly visible on the national stage.
Rogers is licensed in Tennessee and is also admitted to appear before the Federal Circuit. Those credentials anchor the kinds of matters he handles and where he practices. He has navigated filings and proceedings that require state-court experience as well as the procedural demands of federal appellate work.
He also holds a leadership role in his firm as a managing partner. In that position he combines administrative responsibility with casework. Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and deliberate in the office. He draws on his undergraduate studies in international affairs and justice when he frames legal issues, often emphasizing how broader policy and fairness concerns intersect with the technical law.
Over the years Rogers has balanced client representation with internal firm management. He handles litigation, filings and client counseling, and he has steered teams through complex procedural calendars. His time at the Small Business Administration added a layer of federal perspective to his private-practice experience and offered a closer look at the intersection of agency decisionmaking and private rights.
Outside of court he has been involved in mentoring junior lawyers at the firm and in overseeing case strategy. He pays particular attention to how appellate doctrine can reshape trial strategy, a habit that reflects his regular appearances in federal venues. He is known for concise briefs and attention to the procedural details that appellate judges scrutinize.
He currently concentrates his practice on matters brought in Tennessee state courts and on cases that proceed to the Federal Circuit, balancing litigation and firm leadership responsibilities.
