JORDAN B. SEGAL, shareholder, brings an entrepreneurial spirit, pragmatic approach, and a natural dealmaking proclivity to his work helping companies and individuals achieve their business and real estate objectives. A true counselor and partner for his clients, Jordan understands that every decision matters, every transaction is consequential, and every question or concern deserves a thoughtful, practical, and timely response. Whether structuring a new venture, advising on day-to-day issues, navigating a complex acquisition, or finding creative solutions in a deal that others said couldn’t be done, Jordan acts as a force multiplier for business and real estate clients who trust his sound, actionable guidance and reap the benefits of his demonstrable commitment to their success.
A transactional attorney focused on mergers and acquisitions, commercial real estate, and entity formation and governance, Jordan recognizes that strategic deals and business moves do not happen in a vacuum. That is why he adopts a holistic perspective that considers both immediate concerns as well as long-term impacts on operations, valuation, and scalability. Jordan meets his clients where they are, giving them accessible and understandable information and insights that they need to make informed decisions while sparing them from gratuitous legalese. Jordan tailors his counsel to his clients, whether they are entrepreneurs starting their first venture, family-owned businesses planning generational transitions, or private equity funds building portfolios. Whatever the client’s specific circumstances, Jordan’s objective is the same: to be the trusted advisor who does whatever it takes to clear roadblocks and get deals done.
Consistently sought out for complex, novel matters that require solutions that are at once creative and workable, Jordan always remains mindful of his clients’ bottom line, knowing that the value of his representation is measured not just in the consistent results he delivers but also in the efficiency and agility with which he does so. He can leverage his experience across a broad spectrum of industries as well as in-house perspectives to help clients succeed at every stage of the business lifecycle, from initial formation and financing that enables an entrepreneurial dream to take flight to business succession planning and exit strategies that allow his clients to enjoy the fruits of their labor while ensuring the continuity of their business and securing their legacy.
Often serving in an “outside in-house counsel” role, Jordan has worked on nearly every legal issue that intersects with the daily and long-term concerns of business owners, including mergers and acquisitions; employment; data privacy and security; corporate structuring, governance, maintenance, and financing; real estate, land use, and development matters; supply chain and logistics contracting; regulatory compliance and government investigations; and any other matter that might affect the business.
In short, Jordan helps businesses form, scale, grow, and, of course, make money.
An avid legal writer and speaker, Jordan has been published frequently throughout his career in academic and business journals, including Michigan Business Law Journal, Compliance Today, and Cooley Law Review. His articles and presentations include vital business legal insights on corporate data security, nondisclosure agreements, nonprofits, and cannabis law.
