Jacob, Medinger & Finnegan LLP, founded in 1973, is a boutique practice that handles sophisticated litigation and corporate matters.
JMF's litigation attorneys specialize in complex corporate and commercial matters and the defense of product liability and mass tort litigation. We also have extensive experience in alternative dispute resolution. Our cases often involve highly technical, medical and scientific questions confronting our clients. Our deep understanding of these issues, combined with our litigation experience, enables us to represent our clients' interests effectively and efficiently.
JMF's corporate attorneys assist clients in managing a wide range of sophisticated corporate and financial matters. Our clients rely on our counsel to negotiate a variety of corporate and financing transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, venture capital and other financing transactions. We also have extensive experience in creating joint ventures and strategic alliances, which facilitate our clients' ability to achieve critical business objectives. Our firm's philosophy and focus on developing a keen understanding of clients' business and needs result in our ability to provide our clients with unmatched responsiveness and cost-effective and practical solutions.
While we work regularly with some of the largest firms in the U.S. and the world in matters across the country and overseas, we have resisted the temptation to be all things to all people. We remain focused on what we know and do best. Our experience allows us to see around corners to anticipate developments before they become problems. Our size ensures efficiency and means that each client gets a core group of attorneys dedicated to its individual concerns. Our scientific analysts are an invaluable resource for clients faced with complicated medical and scientific issues. Our commitment is uncommon. The result, for over 40 years, has been a successful partnership with our clients.
