Jacob Goldschlag practices within the firm's construction law, business and commercial litigation, and real estate departments - where firm clients include federal and local contractors and subcontractors, general business owners, real estate owners, commercial development teams, and landlords and tenants.

The experience made clear that those intangibles often drive a case as much as the legal considerations.
