Ken Jacob’s practice is focused on national commercial real estate transactions in a variety of sectors spanning senior living, shopping centers, industrial, office, multifamily, and marinas. Ken represents private equity funds, other institutional investors, developers, real estate investment trusts, and other real estate owners, operators, and managers. He advises his clients on their acquisition, disposition, and financing transactions and in structuring the ownership, investment, and financing vehicles for such transactions. Ken also represents clients in master lease and management agreements. Ken particularly enjoys working with his clients to achieve their objectives by understanding their businesses and appreciating the practical implications of the legal terms of a transaction.
In addition to his active practice, Ken serves as the manager of Arent Fox’s business department. In this role, Ken works with the lawyers in each of the practice areas falling within the business department (real estate, corporate, bankruptcy, and tax/ERISA/estate planning), and with lawyers in other departments to ensure that the best approach is brought to bear on each representation. An example of this collaboration is Ken’s membership on the senior living and long-term care team through which partners in different practice areas work to provide integrated solutions on behalf of our clients.
