Office Information


When it opened in 1995, Baker Donelson's Jackson office became the Firm's first Southeastern office outside of Tennessee.

Home to many governmental agencies and accompanying trade associations, corporate headquarters and lobbying firms, Jackson is Mississippi's business and financial center and epicenter for the state's legal profession. As such, the Firm's strategic vision has long been to attract the best lawyers and public policy professionals to offer sophisticated legal and policy advice to a diverse client base consisting of national, international and home-grown businesses.

The Jackson office serves clients in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, gaming, manufacturing, insurance, medical device, pharmaceutical, long term care and many others, in practice areas that include product liability defense, banking, health care regulatory, mergers and acquisitions, environmental, probate law, federal and state taxation, labor and employment law, complex commercial litigation, appellate law and government investigations, to name a few. We are particularly known for our trial successes in complex, high-stakes commercial and personal injury lawsuits in tough venues and our sophisticated health care practice, as well as our management of complicated corporate transactions for public and private companies of all sizes. We also have a robust affordable housing practice.

In addition, Baker Donelson is a leader in using technology in support of complex litigation, as well as transactions and compliance management. The Firm's award-winning Legal Project Management office is based in Jackson and continues to serve as a leader in the industry, offering systems that help clients manage their legal portfolios and expenditures more thoughtfully and efficiently.

Our culture of caring and inclusion is evident in our community involvement, with attorneys and staff providing thousands of hours of pro bono service and serving as leaders, volunteers and donors to numerous charitable, artistic and community service organizations. We are particularly proud of our continuing work with our adopted school of more than 16 years, Baker Elementary, and our significant participation with Toys for Tots every year since our office opened.
