James W. Sargent
Senior Counsel
Jim Sargent’s clients undoubtedly benefit from his years of practical experience in real property, finance, and commercial transactions, but they value his wisdom and perspective most. Jim represents parties on both sides of the table – buyers and sellers, borrowers and lenders – to get deals done the right way to prevent problems later and avoid litigation.
With a resumé that includes some of the country’s largest and most prominent law firms and representative matters comprising an array of loan facilities and secured transactions, Jim’s subject matter expertise is unrivaled. Behind those deals, however, are the personal relationships he forged by getting to know people and their goals. Jim earns the respect of clients, counsel, and others through his attention to detail, quick response, and resistance to over-lawyering a deal.
“ What clients want most is protection. Good counsel is an exercise of mental discipline—gather the facts, know the law, present the truth, solve problems, and prevent future risk—without overanalyzing or complicating the situation. That’s the economic and legal value I deliver. ”
