Please join us in welcoming Summer Law Clerk Jacob A. Severyn. Jacob’s connection to Critchfield goes back nearly a decade, when he interned in our Medina office as a high school student. Since then, he has built an impressive professional path—earning his accounting degree from The Ohio State University, becoming a CPA, and spending five years at RSM US LLP, where he supervised audit teams and advised clients on financial reporting, internal controls, and major transactions. Now a J.D. candidate at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, Jacob is eager to bring his business and accounting background into the legal world. We’re glad to have him back and look forward to supporting his growth as he explores corporate and transactional practice areas.
