Howard Jahre is a graduate of Brooklyn Law School Class of 1972 and has been a continuous member of the New York Bar. Howard has represented a plethora of clients on diverse legal matters including:
The development of a 100,000 square foot shopping center in North Carolina.
The sale of a division of a musical instrument manufacturer to Steinway Piano.
The negotiation of a favorable substantial settlement agreement for a breach of contract between a US based importer and an Italian manufacturer of synthesizers.
The representation of a FINRA regulated securities trading firm in their lease negotiations with the landlord and agreements with their prime broker and clearing firm.
The representation of a firm with outstanding liabilities of ten million dollars for a settlement of less than five cents on the dollar.
The representation of a principal of a firm with a $3 million dollar promissory note and personal guaranty to a NYSE company whereby all obligations were extinguished without any liability.
As both a practicing attorney and the owner of a wide variety of businesses, Mr. Jahre has a wealth of hands on experience.With every business, whether merely an idea, a start up, or an established entity, each will have their own particular challenges. Mr. Jahre can shepherd his clients through the maze of legal issues with particular emphasis on how each interacts with the operation of the business, giving his clients a complete assessment of not just contracts or commercial leases, but equally so identifying early on business issues which can be addressed intelligently, which often-times is the difference between success and failure.
Business is by definition a competitive enterprise, and as such growing a business and watching it blossom, avoiding costly mistakes and planning for the future is as much a function of proper legal representation as it is an understanding of how to manage the risks.
