BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, September 23, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jacob Kahn has been recognized for achievement in law.

Mr. Kahn has established himself as a respected lawyer in the fields of construction and real estate law and is a partner at Deneweth, Vittiglio & Sassak, P.C. Since joining the firm in 2021, Mr. Kahn has represented a broad range of businesses and stakeholders throughout the construction industry, including property owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and other commercial enterprises.

Mr. Kahn's practice serves companies at every stage of growth and ownership structure. His clients include small and family-owned businesses, established regional contractors, large privately held companies, publicly traded companies, and businesses owned or operated by private equity. Whether advising a closely held contractor protecting its cash flow or assisting a sophisticated company managing a substantial portfolio, Mr. Kahn provides practical, business focused counsel designed to identify risk early and preserve value.

Mr. Kahn advises clients through every phase of a construction project, beginning with contract preparation and negotiation and continuing through project completion, claims management, and dispute resolution. He drafts and negotiates construction agreements, subcontracts, change orders, purchase agreements, commercial leases, operating agreements, and other business contracts. He also counsels clients on entity formation, organizational structure, and commercial transactions, helping businesses establish and maintain sound legal foundations for long term growth.

When disputes arise, Mr. Kahn represents clients in matters involving nonpayment, delay claims, contract disputes, construction liens, payment bonds, performance bonds, and other complex construction and commercial issues. He has experience representing clients in state and federal courts, arbitration proceedings, and administrative hearings. His approach is strategic and results oriented: pursue efficient solutions where possible, while remaining prepared to litigate or arbitrate aggressively when necessary to protect the client's business interests.

Approximately 80 percent of Mr. Kahn's practice is devoted to matters arising from the construction industry. He views construction law as a specialized field requiring both legal skill and a practical understanding of how projects are priced, documented, managed, financed, and completed. In addition to representing clients, he teaches construction law courses for the Construction Association of Michigan, including programs that help contractors understand and protect their rights to payment on public and private projects. Aside from his construction practice, Mr. Kahn handles a wide variety of commercial and real estate disputes.

Mr. Kahn began his legal career in personal injury before transitioning to business litigation and construction law. That transition proved pivotal, allowing him to build a practice focused on the legal issues facing businesses in the construction and real estate industries. He has benefited from the guidance of experienced construction attorneys and continues to value mentorship, professional collaboration, and practical problem solving in his work.

Mr. Kahn is a member of the American Bar Association, the Oakland County Bar Association, the Macomb County Bar Association, and the Construction Association of Michigan. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star and by Best Lawyers as One to Watch.

Mr. Kahn earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in 2017 and his Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Michigan State University in 2009. He is admitted to practice in Michigan, California, Ohio, and Wisconsin, as well as several federal courts.
