Elam & Burke Welcomes Three New Attorneys!

We are pleased to announce that attorneys Jed Manwaring, Jim Hovren and John Simko have joined Elam & Burke. Prior to joining E&B, the three were partners at Evans Keane, LLP.

Jed concentrates his practice in product liability, real property title disputes, commercial litigation, bankruptcy, and business disputes. With extensive experience in representing creditors in bankruptcy cases, he excels in representing bankruptcy trustees in uncovering hidden assets and handling collections for creditors. Jed also represents insured parties in title insurance disputes and manages product liability defenses.

Jim focuses his practice on corporate and business law, with a particular emphasis on corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and real estate transactions. He is a trusted advisor to companies ranging from small startups to large enterprises. His practice includes representing clients as general counsel, advising on complex acquisitions, and facilitating the buying and selling of agricultural properties.

John practices in the areas of corporate law, finance, securities litigation, and mining. His experience extends to negotiating high-stakes transactions and managing intricate legal issues in the mining industry.

Their addition helps strengthen Elam & Burke’s depth in several areas of practice, including insurance defense, commercial litigation, bankruptcy, corporate transactions, mergers and acquisitions and real estate.
