Of Counsel
Jay's practice focuses on resolution of both commercial disputes and those concerning trusts, estates and their administration. In addition, Jay serves as a fiduciary for several trusts and estates, and frequently provides advice to clients on trade regulation and other commercial matters. Prior to practicing with Ted Kutscher, Karen Bertram and Tim Burkart, Jay practiced with the Antitrust Division of the Washington Attorney General's Office and with Culp Dwyer Guterson and Grader where he was a partner.
