Jacob Honan Featured in 2026 Upstate New York Super Lawyers Cover Story

Rupp Pfalzgraf attorney Jacob Honan is featured in the cover story of the 2026 Upstate New York Super Lawyers magazine. The story, "Next Gen," brings together four Rising Stars honorees: Jacob, Alicia Loomis of MCV Law, Kadeem Wolliaston of Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, and Morgan Napierski of Woods Oviatt Gilman, for a candid conversation on what it's like to build a career in law today. The group discusses why they chose the legal profession, the paths that led them to their practice areas, the obstacles they faced early in their careers, and where they see the profession heading next.

Jacob, who is an associate attorney in our Business Litigation group, shares how he found his way to the law. An early love of reading and writing led him toward an English degree and a possible career in teaching before he pivoted to law school. He also reflects on being admitted to the bar just weeks before the pandemic shut down New York, and shares lessons learned from his early career. Looking ahead, Jacob offers his perspective on how technology and the courts may change the profession.
