Overview
Jarell is an associate in Tonkon Torp’s Business Department. His practice focuses on contract drafting and negotiation, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and transactional work – from securities offerings and other capital raises to mergers and acquisitions.
Jarell is a 2017 graduate of Lewis & Clark Law School. During law school, Jarell worked summers at Tonkon Torp, engaging primarily with financial services and fund clients. For nearly seven years (prior to and during law school), Jarell worked at a financial services firm registered as a broker-dealer and investment adviser. His responsibilities included reviewing securities offerings, negotiating distribution and other agreements with issuers and product sponsors, and assisting with product-related inquiries as part of SEC and FINRA examinations.
When he is not in the office, Jarell likes to explore the outdoors and take advantage of the great scenery of the Pacific Northwest: whether on a golf course, atop a ski hill, or at a local winery.
