A Drafter, a Negotiator, a Litigator.
Jacob is a Director across Fennemore’s Business & Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, Agribusiness, Real Estate, and Business Litigation departments. The center of gravity is acquisitions and dispositions — of both real estate and business entities — but the practice extends across most of what owning and operating a business or property actually requires: entity formation, financing, shareholder and buy-sell agreements, easements, leases, options, construction contracts, employment agreements, technology agreements, and the long tail of purchase, sale, and operating documents that hold the rest together.
