The Lifland Inn of Court focuses on Intellectual Property and Federal Practice in the District of New Jersey, and includes among its members many of the District and Magistrate Judges of the District of New Jersey, and both leading lights and rising stars of the New Jersey federal bar.
Alongside his Co-Director, Jake will help plan and coordinate the Inn’s educational programming, mentor younger attorneys, and assist in overseeing the organization’s operations and initiatives. Jake’s term as Co-Director will run for four years.
In addition to his role as Co-Director and Master of the Inn, Jake is a seasoned litigator with extensive experience representing clients in a wide array of complex commercial and multi-party disputes, often in federal court.
