Jason R. Meehan

Jason is a member of the firm’s Business Law Practice Group, where he advises businesses and entrepreneurs on matters involving corporate governance, commercial transactions, contracts, and everyday legal matters. He also assists clients with mergers and acquisitions, offering guidance from deal structuring to closing.

Before transitioning to business law, Jason represented clients in a wide range of commercial litigation and criminal law matters in Wisconsin courts. His background as a litigator gives him a practical, solutions-oriented perspective that clients value—especially when business decisions intersect with legal exposure.

A former Division I football player and academic honoree, Jason brings the same drive and discipline to his legal work that once made him a standout on the field.
