Jacob Bylund Email & Phone Number

I’m an experienced trial attorney serving clients across the nation from Faegre Drinker’s Des Moines office. Throughout my career, I’ve measured success by the relative advantage gained for clients, not by the number or length of motions filed or depositions taken. I work collaboratively with the client team to find and develop weaknesses in the opposition’s case, then execute in accountable increments. I view the demonstrated ability to effectively manage a matter through trial, if needed to meet client goals, is critical to the early resolution of matters. I have led trial teams in achieving many plaintiffs-side jury verdicts, many defense-side jury verdicts, directed verdicts, victories on summary judgment and arbitration victories for major clients. I have represented clients in courts in over 25 states and the District of Columbia.As a leader in the firm’s national food and agribusiness industry team, I also represent and counsel some of the nation's largest food and agribusiness companies, navigating clients through industry specific issues. My team and I stay abreast of market and industry issues to better understand and anticipate clients’ business needs. I also devote time to firm, client and industry initiatives focused on attracting and retaining diverse talent for the firm, clients’ case teams and the practice overall.
