He also has spent a significant amount of time defending lawyers and law firms in professional liability cases and advising on ethical issues.
Jordan has significant experience presenting and cross-examining witnesses, attacking and defending complex valuations and damage models, and navigating difficult fiduciary and attorney-client privilege issues. He also routinely advises clients on risk and performance issues involving existing and potential contracts, including with respect to mergers, acquisitions, payments, and other significant transactions. In addition to his client work, Jordan regularly speaks on matters ranging from legal ethics to the unique aspects of litigating in bankruptcy court.
