Overview

Jackson Abbey is a member of the Adams & Reese Litigation Practice Group and an Associate in the Nashville office. Jackson represents clients in various industries and in a broad array of complex civil litigation matters, including breach of contract, employment, real estate litigation, fraud investigations, and more. He also works to ensure his clients’ compliance on many regulatory matters, such as the FLSA, ADA, and the STARK Act.

Through his summer clerkships, including with Adams & Reese, Jackson gained experience researching and drafting memoranda on complex commercial litigation and regulatory compliance issues. He also prepared and summarized operating and lease agreements, drafted complaints and answers, and reviewed discovery requests, interrogatories, and subpoena documents for ongoing litigation.

Jackson’s judicial internship for Chancellor Anne C. Martin of the Davidson County Chancery Court, Part II, entailed not only drafting orders and memoranda but also compiling information from opposing sides and evaluating their briefs. The ability to analyze competing arguments to identify strengths and weaknesses, and arrive at a neutral conclusion, is a critical skill for litigators, and this internship gave Jackson direct experience in that process.

At Vanderbilt University Law School, Jackson served as Executive Articles Editor of the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law, earned a certificate in Vanderbilt’s Law & Business Program, and received the Scholastic Excellence Award for Advanced Topics in International Humanitarian Law. He also served as Vice President of the Transfer Student Association. Previously, as a teaching assistant at Vanderbilt University, Jackson taught introductory finance topics to more than 180 undergraduate students.

Also, as an undergraduate legal intern for a Nashville law firm, Jackson undertook research on corporate law and briefed cases on “piercing the corporate veil” for pending litigation. Here, he also outlined and prepared waiver releases for local businesses responding to mask mandates during the initial COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
