Jordan is a trial and appellate attorney who manages a docket of cases in which the total claimed damages exceeds several billion dollars. 

As a trial attorney, Jordan has represented his clients in jury and bench trials, evidentiary hearings, binding arbitrations, and hearings before administrative agencies. He has tried several cases to verdict in which the plaintiffs asked the jury to award more than $50 million in damages. The causes of action he has tried include antitrust, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy, eviction, fraud, insurance coverage, tortious interference, unjust enrichment, and personal injury and wrongful death claims arising out of construction, medical malpractice, premises, products-related, and transportation accidents.
 
He also heads the firm’s appellate practice. In that role, he has represented clients in numerous state and federal appellate courts on a broad range of procedural and legal issues. His appellate practice includes collaborating with other attorneys before and during trial to help them craft legal strategies, briefing critical issues, preserving issues for appeal, and handling post-verdict motions.
 
Jordan also regularly resolves cases for clients short of trial or appeal. His extensive experience before triers of fact and courts of review enables him to provide his clients with accurate opinions about their case’s value and to outline the litigation process they will have to go through to achieve resolution.

He has been named one of the top 100 civil defense litigators in Illinois; Premier Appellate Lawyers recommended him as Chicago’s appellate attorney for 2021; Leading Lawyers named him an Emerging Lawyer for commercial, civil appellate, and personal injury defense litigation; and Super Lawyers selected him for inclusion as a Rising Star for business, appellate, construction, transportation, and product liability litigation.
