About
PMJ PLLC is Chicago-based law firm with a global influence. The firm consists of me (licensed in IL and AZ), Sarah Beaujour (NY and France), and our IP lawyer John Wiberg (IL and CO). Additional information is available on our www PMJPLLC com. Our offices are located in downtown Chicago, Illinois; our clients are located throughout the globe.

I have more than 22 years of experience working with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 50 companies on matters involving business litigation, corporate formation, commercial transactions, corporate restructuring, and appeals. In the past two years I have taken and defended dozens of depositions,… read more and "first chaired" multi-day trials in Illinois and Arizona.

We pride ourselves on being nimble and able to provide General Outside Counsel services to startups and developed companies and individuals. Many of the companies that we helped form are now have millions in revenue and dozens of employees.

We look forward to working with you.

"UpCounsel has connected us to Patrick Jones for the purpose of the Stripe Atlas post-incorporation package. Patrick has been helpful and accommodating. He answered the many questions my co-founder and I asked, switching between email and phone as necessary and always replying promptly. Additionally, we approached Patrick for his assistance with several other topics (such as a sales agreement), and his advice was invaluable. We are looking forward to working with Patrick moving forward."
