What sets McFall Law apart in business matters is a foundation that extends beyond law. Alan McFall holds both a B.S. in Business Administration from Penn State and an M.B.A. from Indiana University — before he ever earned his J.D. from Temple Law. That business education informs the practical, efficient counsel he and his team bring to every corporate engagement.
Jason McFall spent a decade at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP in New York, working on mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, and complex business transactions for private equity clients across the United States, California, and Asia. He brings big-firm sophistication to the firm’s local and regional business clients.
