Portrait of Anthony "Tony" R. Jackson

Anthony "Tony" R. Jackson

Principal

Anthony "Tony" Jackson represents investors and business professionals in complex commercial disputes, guiding matters from initial pleadings through trial with a focus on practical, results-driven outcomes. He approaches litigation as a strategic tool, aligning legal solutions with each client’s broader business or personal objectives to achieve efficient and cost-effective resolutions.

Tony has developed a strong practice representing real estate investors, handling a range of disputes involving property rights and ownership interests. His experience includes litigating partition actions, specific performance claims, and adverse possession matters. Through this work, he has helped clients navigate complex property disputes and maximize the value of their investments, tailoring his approach to the legal landscape and each client’s long-term goals.

Known for his business-minded perspective, Tony brings an entrepreneurial sensibility to his legal practice. Before practicing law, he owned and operated small businesses, experiences that provided firsthand insight into the challenges business owners face. This background informs his ability to assess disputes not only from a legal standpoint, but also through the lens of operational realities, risk tolerance, and financial objectives.

Tony is equally committed to client service. He emphasizes clear communication, responsiveness, and a thoughtful understanding of each client’s priorities. His early professional experience in service-oriented roles helped shape his ability to connect with clients and effectively advocate for them both in and out of the courtroom.

In addition to his domestic practice, Tony brings a global perspective shaped by years spent living abroad in Europe and South America. This experience enhances his ability to work with diverse clients and navigate cross-cultural considerations that can arise in business and legal matters.

Following law school, Tony served as a judicial clerk to Chief Judge Wilma Lewis of the United States District Court of the Virgin Islands. This experience provided him with valuable insight into judicial decision-making and further strengthened his litigation skills.

G2. Designing Secure Practices: Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, Contractual Provisions, and Insurance Risks for Architects (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) Architects and design professionals increasingly rely on cloud platforms, BIM software, and digital tools to manage sensitive data, creating cybersecurity and privacy risks. A single incident can trigger liability claims, regulatory obligations, reputational harm, and insurance challenges. Yet many firms underestimate how contracts, insurance, and internal practices intersect during a breach. This program offers legal and insurance perspectives on cyber risk in architecture, examining liability exposure, risky contract provisions, and mitigation strategies. A cyber insurance expert will explain policy responses, coverage gaps, coordination with professional liability, and best practices for aligning insurance with contractual risk and protecting firms from evolving cyber threats. Learning Objectives: Identify key cybersecurity and data privacy risks faced by architecture firms and explain how these risks can impact professional liability and project outcomes. Analyze common contractual provisions to determine which clauses may increase exposure to cyber incidents and propose strategies to mitigate these risks. Evaluate the scope and limitations of cyber insurance policies, including coordination with professional liability coverage, to determine how a policy would respond in a breach scenario. Develop actionable risk management strategies by integrating legal, contractual, and insurance considerations to protect sensitive client and project data.
