As part of Vault’s 2025 Guide to Legal Practice Areas, Kobre & Kim’s Jacob Kirkham provided an in-depth Q&A on his Delaware-based commercial litigation practice.
“My practice focuses on high-stakes corporate and commercial litigation primarily in the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court,” Mr. Kirkham shared. “I have experience in shareholder disputes, busted mergers, and expedited litigation, as well as in advising both international and domestic boards, special committees, and independent board members in investigations and litigation in Delaware’s federal and state courts. Kobre & Kim is often called upon to be lead counsel in high-stakes trials and to litigate other commercial disputes that require global strategies and cross-border execution where Delaware law plays a key role.”
“Whether I am working with a Fortune 500 company or a closely held startup, the outcomes of my cases not only deeply affect the lives of everyone involved but also the broader economic landscape of the United States. The standing of Delaware corporate law often drives business outcomes and behaviors that impact the way people do business worldwide,” Mr. Kirkham said when asked what he likes best about his practice area.
“Since joining Kobre & Kim, my practice has grown to foster creative and strategic outcomes rather than simply the rote application of Delaware law,” Mr. Kirkham shared about his experience at Kobre & Kim. “We foster a culture of innovation and collaboration and a deep commitment to delivering exceptional results. Kobre & Kim is one integrated firm across all our locations, so our Delaware team works seamlessly with our colleagues around the world, and the work we do is an integral part of a broader, global strategy.”
