Jabe, Daniel N.

Current Employment Position(s)

Associate

Lawyer Overview

Dan Jabe represents clients in complex commercial cases at the trial and appellate levels, and he also advises clients on litigation preparation and avoidance strategies. Dan has handled cases in numerous state and federal courts involving many substantive areas of law, including accounting malpractice, bankruptcy, construction, consumer sales, direct marketing, elections, energy, franchise, intellectual property, mortgage foreclosure, and tax. He also has extensive experience with multimillion dollar breach of contract litigation, particularly cases involving complex damages issues.

Dan has helped Jones Day achieve a number of significant victories for its clients, including a $263 million settlement for AEP in a New York case involving the breach of a long-term power supply contract. Dan took an active role in developing AEP's successful argument to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that the trial court's award of $123 million failed to adequately compensate AEP for its losses. On remand for a re-determination of AEP's damages, the case was settled for more than double the trial court's award. The novel damages issues the case presented, and the Firm's creative arguments on AEP's behalf, were written about in the Columbia Law Review and the New York Law Journal.

Dan also has taken active roles in the community, handling pro bono matters, writing legal articles, and serving on the Tourette Syndrome Association of Ohio's board of directors.
