    ABOUT DREW

    Walk-On Mentality. Every Engagement.

    I walked on to Boston College basketball, competed in the ACC, and learned what it means to prepare for moments that matter. After law school, I built Seton Hall Law's sports, entertainment, and gaming program from the ground up and now run the Annual Gaming Law Bootcamp, one of the largest in the country. I founded Jacobs Counsel to give athletes, creators, gaming companies, and startups the same thing I wanted as a walk-on: someone who takes your deal as seriously as you do.

    HOW I WORK

    An AI-Native Firm Built for Speed and Value

    Traditional firms bill junior associates to do the research and pass the cost to you. I use AI to handle the heavy lifting — research, drafting, document review — so I can focus on strategy, negotiation, and judgment. The result: faster turnarounds, fixed fees, and senior-level attention on every matter.

    QUESTIONS ANSWERED

    How I Work

    How does your pricing work?
    Fixed fees for defined projects. Monthly retainers for ongoing counsel. I quote a price before we start — that's what you pay. No associate markup, no surprise invoices. See Deal Counsel pricing →

    Can you help with NCAA House settlement revenue share deals?
    Yes — this is a core focus. I review and negotiate NIL revenue share agreements under the NCAA House settlement framework, ensuring athletes understand roster guarantees, revenue splits, and transfer portal implications before signing. Learn about NIL services →

    What makes you different from a larger firm?
    You work directly with me — no associate layer, no partner markup. I use AI-assisted research and drafting to move faster and bill less, so you get senior-level work at a fraction of BigLaw cost. See how I use technology →

    I'm a financial advisor — how do we work together?
    I partner with RIAs, family offices, and wealth managers to handle the legal execution for your HNW clients. You stay the quarterback — I handle estate plans, entity structuring, and asset protection. Advisor partnerships →

    Can you handle just one deal or contract?
    Absolutely. That's what Deal Counsel is for — flat fee, defined scope, fast turnaround. Many ongoing relationships start with a single contract review.

    How do I know if we're a good fit?
    Book a free 15-minute strategy call. No pitch, no pressure. I'll listen, give you an honest assessment, and tell you whether Jacobs Counsel is the right fit — or point you somewhere better. Book a call →
