Jayne E. Juvan

Tucker Ellis LLP is a full-service law firm formed in 2003 by 65 lawyers. Today, our 215 lawyers practice nationwide from even locations: Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and St. Louis. We aspire to two simple but lofty goals: to provide everyone we encounter with a better law firm experience and to make a career for everyone who works here.

Our firm is structured to build and maintain the strongest and deepest internal and external relationships, foster true teamwork with our clients and one another, and continuously work to improve every facet of what we do. With no billable hour requirements, we do not compensate our people for simply billing as much time as they can. Instead, we reward them for their accomplishments, allowing us more freedom to work under mutually gratifying non-hourly fee arrangements, train and mentor our lawyers and staff, and focus on getting our important work done.

At Tucker Ellis, we understand our clients want counsel who inspire trust and confidence and take their best interests to heart. Our culture of excellence, service, teamwork, diversity, and loyalty to our clients, communities, and one another is what sets us apart and drives us each day as we aspire to vastly improve the manner in which legal services are provided. 

Jayne Juvan is a high-energy business lawyer vitally involved in clients' corporate dealings.

Enterprising by nature, Jayne likes to try new, cutting-edge approaches to get results. Focusing on corporate governance, risk oversight, regulatory compliance, and transactions, she counsels public and high-growth private companies, private equity funds, and venture capital funds from initial formation through all stages of the business life cycle.

Jayne frequently can be found in the boardroom with directors as they make highly impactful, potentially transformative, and confidential decisions. She is often tapped to assist corporate boards to maximize effectiveness and institute best practices. Given her experience serving as co-chair of the American Bar Association's Task Force on Director Misconduct, she is also regularly called upon to advise corporate boards during their most challenging situations.

Whether making a decision to grow or divest corporate assets, clients in a variety of industries – including the heavily regulated health care industry – turn to Jayne for her advice and counsel. She relishes navigating complex issues that arise in transactions of all sizes and has been a key advisor on deals valued from approximately $5 million to more than $1 billion.

Jayne passionately stays abreast of emerging boardroom issues, macroeconomic and financial factors that impact global deal activity, and the potential influence of geopolitical events on corporate strategy. A frequent and sought-after writer and speaker featured in the Harvard Business Review and Forbes for her unique use of social media as an attorney, Jayne covers the daily developments in these areas on Twitter at twitter.com/jaynejuvan.

Jayne and her husband Dan, who are both black belts in Tae Kwon Do, met in martial arts and competed nationally together in forms and freestyle sparring. Originally from Northeast Ohio, they are proud to call Cleveland home and enjoy raising their young twin sons Alexander and Zachary in the area.
