Jack is a seasoned litigator who focuses his practice on high-stakes commercial disputes in state and federal courts throughout the country.  He also assists his clients with internal investigations, government investigations, corporate governance issues, and post-merger disputes.  No matter the legal issue, Jack’s clients trust him to provide zealous advocacy and candid legal advice throughout every stage of the litigation process—from inception through appeal.

Prior to joining Wyche, Jack practiced in the Atlanta office of an international law firm, where he represented clients in federal securities class actions, ERISA litigation, shareholder derivative lawsuits, and matters involving the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  He helped lead litigation strategies for clients in the energy, finance, and healthcare sectors, among others.

Before entering private practice, Jack clerked for a federal judge on both the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina.  He also served for over a decade as a Judge Advocate in the United States Marine Corps on active duty and in the reserves.  In the reserves, Jack advised military leadership and investigative agencies on criminal matters.  On active duty, he defended Marines in felony-level courts-martial and administrative separation proceedings.  His service included numerous contested jury trials and earned him the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for meritorious service.
