A strategic and effective litigator for our business dispute

Our company engaged Jackson Herndon at Paul Hastings to handle a significant breach of contract and business tort case against a former partner. From our initial consultation in the Century City office, it was clear we were dealing with a seasoned professional. Jackson’s decade-plus of experience, particularly in commercial litigation as his recognition suggests, was immediately evident in his strategic assessment of our case. He didn’t just react to the other side’s motions; he built a proactive, compelling narrative that put constant pressure on them. His background as a trial lawyer meant he prepared every document and deposition with the courtroom in mind, which gave us tremendous leverage during settlement negotiations. The result was a highly favorable settlement that protected our intellectual property and secured meaningful damages. The only minor critique, and why this is a 4-star instead of a 5-star review, is that during the most intense phases, communication from his direct line could sometimes lag a day, though his team was always responsive. Overall, Jackson’s blend of New York rigor and California pragmatism, honed over his 12-year career since Fordham, made him an invaluable asset. We would confidently recommend him for complex commercial disputes.
