Background

About Jacob Craft

I pride myself on understanding the unique business needs of my clients and creating dynamic plans to efficiently reach their goals. I believe that clear and timely communication is essential to the successful practice of law, as well as to business growth and development. As such, I dedicate myself to providing clients with timely responses, concise explanations, and zealous advocacy. Formerly a judicial law clerk, I am used to analyzing complex legal issues, including connecting and understanding voluminous documents and then distilling the information down into an understandable format. I have worked on a variety of business law cases from simple contract disputes to complex corporate governance, and mergers and acquisitions. Earning my J.D. and MBA simultaneously from Creighton University, I understand what it takes to meet the specific needs of my clients from a legal and business perspective. Before returning to school, I worked as a business professional for Utah’s largest worker’s compensation insurance company. Working with the business expansion team, I helped expand the company into a full-service multi-line insurance carrier. I also managed my own book of business, partnered with third-party vendors, and served on several committees devoted to internal improvements, and community philanthropy. I am originally from Sandy, Utah, but call Omaha home. I earned my bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in constitutional studies from Utah Valley University. However, most of my undergraduate coursework was from the University of Alaska Anchorage where both I and my wife played college basketball. I served a two-year mission for my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Norway and speaks fluent Norwegian. In my spare time, I spend time with my wife and daughters outside, hunting, camping, fishing, and gardening. I also enjoy woodworking, playing in sand volleyball leagues with my wife during the summer, golfing, playing basketball, and actively serving his community whenever possible.
