DeAndre Jackson

Associate

I aim to blend a litigator’s strategy with a transactional ‎attorney’s foresight to deliver practical, business-minded ‎solutions for my clients.‎

How I represent clients at Schwabe

My practice focus is on complex commercial litigation, construction compliance, premises liability, and insurance defense. I represent businesses, developers, and insurers in high-stakes disputes and provide proactive counsel on risk management and liability mitigation strategies.

In addition to my litigation experience, I bring a strong background in transactional work. As a Legal Fellow at Nike, I negotiated and drafted endorsement, sponsorship, and partnership agreements with athletes, influencers, and global brands. Earlier in my career, I worked as an NBA agent, advising professional athletes on contracts, representation, and business opportunities.

This unique combination of courtroom advocacy and deal-making experience allows me to offer clients a strategic perspective, balancing risk and opportunity in both litigation and transactional matters.
