Kohrman Jackson & Krantz LLP

Kohrman Jackson & Krantz LLP KJK's Facebook for www.kjk.com We didn’t try to be different. We just did what came naturally. You could say it’s in our blood. We speak their language.

That’s because our senior partners, Kohrman, Jackson and Krantz, happened to be revolutionary. They were lawyers who practiced more than law. They were innovators, community leaders and stewards of our city who always made their clients’ business their first priority. KJK passionately believes mid-market businesses are the real drivers of our economy. We recognize that our economy is strengthened

by small, yet promising start-ups, as well as large, economy-driving events. Our greatest inspiration is in seeing our clients succeed. We need that success to ensure job creation in our community and across America. So we’ve helped businesses grow from start-ups to successful IPOs. We advise, advocate, innovate and build so that our clients see an impact on their bottom lines and carry that momentum into the community. That’s not a product of hourly fees. That’s about partnership and a law firm with people who view their service not as an end, but as a means to a greater end that powers our community’s prosperity. To achieve this mission, we’ve structured our firm to help clients make maximum economic impact while keeping their legal fees free of surprise. While others offer General Counsel, we provide Connective Counsel. It’s not about offering leadership in every arm of law, but rather connecting clients to the right arm of leadership at the right time. It’s not about mitigating risk, but rather ensuring our clients risk intelligently and celebrating it with them. KJK started as three well-known names. Today, however, it’s more than that, it’s a team name. You could say our clients get an “all-access pass” to the legal professionals who can best serve them. So don’t call us a law firm. Call us business partners. Call us when the community needs an extra hand. Call us KJK.

Michigan's move to pass/fail grading for some first-semester freshmen in fall 2027 aims to ease the transition to college. Critics, however, see a loss of rigor and argue that resilience comes from learning that a hard-earned B isn't a failure.

Maturing CMBS loans and rising delinquencies have brought the "extend and pretend" era to an end. As UCC Article 9 foreclosures can transfer control from sponsors in a matter of weeks and "bad boy" provisions may trigger personal liability, lenders and borrowers alike should position themselves before default. KJK attorney Chris Macke discusses: https://bit.ly/46BM5YA

UCC Article 9 foreclosures and guarantor liability are reshaping commercial real estate debt for borrowers, sponsors and lenders in 2026.

Two pending Ohio cases show how Buc-ee’s expansive trademark portfolio shapes its enforcement strategy well before any demand letter—while registration alone does not determine consumer confusion or eliminate valid prior local rights. KJK attorneys Antonio Dempsey and Kyle Stroup discuss: https://bit.ly/3SKA2F3

The Buc-ee's Ohio cases offer practical lessons on trademark portfolio strategy and enforcement for brands on both sides of a demand letter.

KJK attorneys Kyle Podolak, Dave Campbell and Chris Macke explain what this means for employers: https://hubs.li/Q04vnvMd0

A Republican majority on the NLRB could affect existing rules on employee handbooks, severance agreements, and union organizing procedures.

Cleveland's real TIF risk is not the upside the city forgoes from development, but the downside of inaction and decline in a market where construction costs have risen 30% since 2021. KJK attorney David Ebersole explains: https://hubs.li/Q04vnvh30

TIFs shift development risk to developers, not taxpayers. Former Cleveland economic development director David Ebersole makes the case for keeping them.

KJK attorney Kyle Stroup explains what this means for brands: https://hubs.li/Q04tlwx50

FTC rules require employees promoting employer products to disclose employment relationships, creating compliance risks brands must manage.

KJK attorney Chris Macke explains: https://hubs.li/Q04tk5z_0

Behind-the-meter power agreements help Ohio developers protect project timelines amid grid capacity constraints and utility delays.
