Before founding Zim Law, P.C., Mr. Zim worked as a legal assistant at Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP — one of the world's leading law firms — across its
New York City and Palo Alto offices, where he supported IP litigation, securities
litigation, commercial litigation, real estate, and M&A matters at the highest
level.
While at the University of Miami School of Law, he was authorized by the United
States Patent & Trademark Office to appear in trademark matters — a credential
earned through the School's Startup Practicum, where he advised local and national
startup companies on entity formation, operational risk, and intellectual property
strategy. His work included drafting and negotiating ownership agreements,
investment documents (including SAFEs and KISSes), corporate bylaws, and
successfully responding to USPTO Office Actions on clients' behalf.
His legal writing has been recognized beyond the classroom: as a member of the UM
Business Law Review, he published a piece on artificial intelligence in the legal
field and authored a note examining how non-compete agreements affect employment
mobility in the technology sector. He also served as an extern with the U.S.
Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, and completed 183 hours of
pro bono service during law school — well above the school's Pro Bono Challenge
threshold.
Outside the office, Jordan is a devoted Florida Panthers fan — his office includes a
small shrine to prove it — and spends his free time playing piano, gaming, and
staying close with family.
