Pennsylvania commercial litigation - Philadelphia corporate lawyers

As a boutique business law firm the work that we do at the Jacobs Law Group is concentrated exclusively on business. The fact that we have a strict business-first focus, however, has not precluded us from handling a wide-range of matters within business law. In fact, our experience with complex commercial litigation and corporate/transactional matters is quite diverse.

To get a better idea of what we do on a daily basis and to see what we have done in the past please take a look at the following examples of our work:
