Andrew R. Jacobs, Esq.
Built by an Athlete.
For High Performers.
I walked onto Boston College basketball and competed in the ACC for four years. I learned what it meant to perform under pressure and navigate the business side of athletics before NIL even existed.
That experience shaped everything. I saw brands profit off our names with zero compensation. I learned that your brand is your business—and most people don't protect it until it's too late.
I started Jacobs Counsel to be the embedded legal partner I wish I had as an athlete. We're an AI-native firm—using technology to accelerate research and drafting while attorneys focus on strategy and relationships.
