His expertise encompasses a range of areas including syndicated lending, leveraged buyouts, acquisition financings, restructurings, and managing distressed debt matters.

Arleen A. Nand, Co-Chair of the Global Finance Practice, praised Jacobs' qualifications, stating, "Andrew brings deep market expertise in broadly syndicated loan transactions and has a strong history of advising leading financial institutions on intricate leveraged financings. His presence will not only enhance our practice but also signifies our ongoing commitment to acquiring top talent to meet our clients' sophisticated financial needs."

Working from both the Westchester County and New York locations, Jacobs will closely collaborate with fellow legal experts across the firm's diverse U.S. and international offices. This strategic collaboration is essential in supporting a wide variety of clients across different industries on intricate financing transactions and related issues.
