Recognized among America's Top 100 Attorneys — Lifetime Achievement|Super Lawyers, Mountain States — 10 Consecutive Years
Jared Kahn founded JK Legal & Consulting, LLC on a simple conviction: great counsel for a family office requires more than legal expertise — it requires understanding how capital is deployed, how operating businesses actually run, and how relationships create the next opportunity.
Jared serves as General Counsel to family offices and several Las Vegas operating companies across commercial real estate, hospitality, construction, finance, and retail. His practice pairs full-lifecycle legal work — formation, contracts, M&A, complex litigation, and regulatory matters — with active business development: sourcing transactions, opening doors, and aligning principals with the right partners. Recognized among America's Top 100 Attorneys (Lifetime Achievement) and named to Super Lawyers (Mountain States) for ten consecutive years, his approach to disputes prioritizes the most cost-effective path to the best result — quiet resolution, mediation, or trial.
Before relocating to Nevada, Jared practiced at Reeves, Kahn, Hennessy & Elkins in Portland, Oregon, taught Environmental Negotiation as an adjunct professor at Lewis & Clark Law School, and represented a 400-member real estate investment association as a registered lobbyist.
Discretion, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to long-term partnership define every engagement.
Centered on serving as general counsel to family offices — extended by active business development and the full operational legal stack sophisticated principals demand.
Embedded counsel to single- and multi-family offices — investment structures, asset protection, governance, multi-generational planning, and senior judgment on every matter that crosses the principal's desk.
Leveraging two decades of relationships across Nevada and Oregon to source, vet, and structure opportunities — operating companies, real estate, joint ventures, and capital partners aligned to the family's thesis.
Senior legal leadership for closely held operating companies that need a seat at the table without a full-time hire. Day-to-day guidance, contract oversight, and risk management.
M&A, joint ventures, financing, and multi-million-dollar transactions structured to protect and grow enterprise value across the family office portfolio.
Pre-dispute resolution, mediation, arbitration, and trial work — handled cost-effectively, with the goal of the best outcome by the most efficient path.
Drawing on legislative experience to navigate regulated industries and matters that require absolute discretion.
We work with a limited number of principals who value strategic thinking, discretion, and counsel that extends beyond the purely legal.
Navigating complex structures, investments, and multi-generational stewardship — the firm's core focus.
Building from vision to enterprise with legal strategy and introductions aligned to growth.
Particularly real estate, hospitality, construction, finance, and retail.
Privacy and confidentiality as a default, not an add-on.
