Business and Transactional Practice.

Jason has represented business concerns ranging from closely-held professional practices to household name companies in numerous seven and eight figure transactions including mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, equity and debt restructurings and re-financings, domestic and international distribution arrangements, and all manner of real estate transactions.  He is especially skilled at executing complex acquisitions, and has helped the Firm’s clients acquire ongoing concerns in a wide range of market sectors, from heavy manufacturing, to professional services, to commodities trading. 

Jason is also well-known for his public sector business law expertise.  Among other things, he has served as an expert witness who has prepared and delivered testimony and legal analysis to committees of the Pennsylvania General Assembly and as a legal adviser for the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials.  He is known for his work in helping school districts and municipalities throughout the Commonwealth implement the restructuring of tax collections under Act 32 of 2008, which was recently deemed by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development as the “most significant change to local government operations in a generation.”  In representing public sector business concerns, Jason has handled everything from mergers of public entities to structuring regulations and agreements governing the collection, collateralization, accounting, and distribution of over a half billion dollars each year in school district and municipal tax revenues.

Complex Commercial Litigation Practice.

Jason has a practice focus on complex commercial litigation.  He has litigated in a lead role before numerous Federal District Courts, every Pennsylvania appellate court, common pleas courts throughout the Commonwealth, and numerous federal, state, and local government agencies.  A number of the cases Jason has handled have received national or statewide publicity, and have been written about by media outlets such as Forbes, Law 360, The Legal Intelligencer, and news outlets throughout the Commonwealth. 

As a civil defense attorney, Jason has defeated everything from putative nationwide class actions alleging consumer fraud, to “bet the organization” litigations, to professional malpractice claims, to injunctive relief claims, to administrative complaints filed with government agencies.   

As a civil plaintiffs’ lawyer, Jason earned admission to the Million Dollar Advocates’ Forum for his work in recovering seven figures in a mass litigation brought on behalf of a coalition of school districts and municipalities.  As a special prosecutor, Jason is the primary architect of a criminal tax fraud prosecution program.  That program has generated substantial new tax revenues for school districts and municipalities by holding unscrupulous employers accountable for misappropriating taxes withheld from employee paychecks and for committing similar offenses. All told, in his capacities as a civil plaintiffs’ lawyer and special prosecutor, Jason has helped recover millions of dollars and has obtained multiple six and seven figure recoveries for businesses, school districts, and municipalities.
