About Andrew (Drew) Jacobs
Walk-On Mentality. Dealmaker Results.
Andrew (Drew) Jacobs, Esq. — Founder, Legacy Counsel by Jacobs Counsel
Licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Ohio
Drew Jacobs walked on to Boston College basketball and competed in the ACC while studying in the Honors Program at the Carroll School of Management. That experience taught him to perform under pressure, build a personal brand, and navigate high-stakes environments where preparation meets opportunity.
That experience shaped everything. He saw the gap between accomplished people with significant wealth and lawyers who actually understood their world.
He founded Jacobs Counsel — and Legacy Counsel — to close that gap.
