About the Firm
Built on trust. Defined by results.
Denning Advisors, LLC was founded on a simple belief: leaders deserve advisors who understand both the law and the business — and who can be counted on when it matters most.
Meet the Founder
M. Jordan Denning
Founder, Denning Advisors, LLC
M. Jordan Denning is the Founder of Denning Advisors, LLC, bringing more than 20 years of legal and business advisory experience to entrepreneurs, executives, businesses, and organizations. Jordan built the firm around a simple conviction: the most consequential decisions deserve counsel that understands both the law and the business behind it.
Jordan’s practice centers on corporate transactions and business strategy. Clients rely on Jordan to structure and negotiate agreements, guide mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships, and translate complex legal considerations into clear, commercially sound decisions that protect value and support growth.
Startups and emerging companies are a particular focus. From formation and founder arrangements to capital raising and scaling operations, Jordan helps founders build durable foundations, anticipate risk, and move forward with the confidence that comes from having an experienced advisor at their side.
Jordan also advises clients across sports, entertainment, and media — industries where reputation, relationships, and rights carry exceptional value. Jordan counsels talent, brands, and businesses on contracts, endorsements, licensing, and the strategic opportunities that define success in high-profile environments.
Beyond the commercial sector, Jordan is a trusted advisor to nonprofit organizations on governance, structure, and board leadership. Across every engagement, Jordan brings the same sophisticated, approachable, and responsive approach — the commitment captured in three words: Count on Us.
