His comprehensive practice focuses on real estate transactions, real estate title examinations and title insurance, commercial real estate acquisitions, banking law and financing, equipment and asset based financing, land use, real estate taxes, landlord and tenant negotiations and disputes, and loan enforcement and defense. Branden also assists in-state and out-of-state investors with acquisitions of property in Kentucky in relation to like-kind exchanges (IRC Section 1031).

Jake regularly helps clients navigate a broad range of commercial real estate matters, including acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, financing, development, title examinations and insurance, investment, operations, and land use/zoning. He also provides clients with general counsel services and advises clients in connection with business mergers and acquisitions, business financing and structuring, and a variety of commercial contracts.

"The Lexington office of BGD continues its growth in strategic areas of the law through the addition of experienced and qualified attorneys, of which Branden and Jake are prime examples. We are very pleased to have both of them join us, and we look forward to further growth in the firm’s real estate and transactional areas of practice with their contributions," Dunn said.
