Jake represents middle-market companies, business owners and private investors in a wide range of transactional matters, with a particular focus on buy/sell transactions, capital investments, acquisition, start-up and working capital financings, and other commercial contracts.
“Jake has become a trusted advisor to clients navigating complex transactions and critical stages of business growth,” said founding shareholder Dan Elder. “His practical business judgment and commitment to client service have made him an integral part of our firm.

“San Antonio is an expanding market and continues to attract entrepreneurs, investors and growing companies that are pursuing acquisitions, investments and other strategic opportunities” said Pylman. “It has been rewarding to work alongside clients as they acquire, grow and sell businesses, raise capital, enter new markets and build long-term value. I look forward to serving our clients in the years to come.”
Throughout his career, Jake has advised clients on a broad range of matters, including business acquisitions and divestitures, private placements, corporate restructurings, financings, entity formations, services contracts and other commercial agreements. His practice is centered on helping clients achieve their business objectives while managing legal and transactional risk.
Before relocating to Texas, Jake worked as a corporate attorney in Connecticut. He earned his BA degree from the University of Rochester and JD degree from the University of Connecticut. Early in his career, he served as law clerk to the Honorable Charles S. Haight, Jr., Senior United States District Judge for the District of Connecticut.
