Hello, my name is Shekar Jayaraman, and I am the founder of Jayaraman Law, where I focus on Estate Planning, Business Planning, and Real Estate Law. With a strong background in both the public and private sectors, I am dedicated to providing my clients with passionate, zealous, and detail-oriented advocacy.
My legal journey has been shaped by high-level judicial clerkships, corporate governance expertise, and a commitment to consumer protection. I had the honor of serving as a Judicial Clerk for a U.S. Magistrate Judge, focusing on violent crimes, and as a Judicial Extern for another U.S. Magistrate Judge. I also worked under the Ohio Secretary of State as a Regional Liaison, handling Business Services and Elections.
Academically, I earned an LL.M. in Business and Corporate Governance from Loyola University Chicago School of Law and a J.D. from the University of South Dakota, where I was elected Student Bar Association President and placed first in the Alternative Dispute Resolution competition. I am admitted to practice in Illinois and South Dakota, as well as several U.S. District and Bankruptcy Courts.
At Jayaraman Law, I leverage my federal clerkship experience, meticulous research and writing skills, and deep legal knowledge to serve my clients with excellence. Whether assisting with estate planning, business structuring, or real estate transactions, I approach every case with precision, strategy, and a commitment to results.
Beyond my legal practice, I am actively involved in the South Asian Bar Association of Chicago, the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, and several other professional and community organizations. I am also fluent in English and conversant in Tamil.
Shekar is a superb lawyer and former federal judicial law clerk with strong competencies in business formation & compliance; estate planning; and the general business practice of law. He is a proven responsive innovator who has built up a law practice by being accessible and helping client navigate the legal complexities of life. He is someone I would go to for problem solving and legal advice." - Mike Rankin

"Professional, thorough, courteous, knowledgeable and actually caring! Those are some of the phrases I would use to describe Mr. Jayaraman. He helped me with real estate and from the beginning to pretty much the end, heâs super easy and methodical. From the initial meeting where he explained the entire process step by step to working towards the Attorney Review â Mr. Jayaraman likes to ensure that you as his client feel comfortable with every step. There are no pressure tactics, no additional sales pitches (which is a rarity these days). He truly just wants to ensure you are satisfied with his work and come out feeling comfortable with your decision. The client portal on jayaramanlaw.com is an added bonus as it removes the uncertainty of âlosingâ email attachments and ensures your files are secure. I would highly recommend Mr. Jayaraman and I would not hesitate to call on him for future needs. Thank you so much Mr. Jayaraman." - SS
"Shekar is one of the most sharpest and pleasant guys to work with. Not only does he simplify the process, heâs with you along every step of the way from start to finish. Whatâs more impressive is his post follow up. After he had gotten my affairs in order with my planning he followed just to ensure I was satisfied or had any other questions. I felt that he genuinely cared which meant a lot. Iâd highly recommend this law practice if you want to work with someone who cares about people and will take time out to actually listen to your needs instead of rushing you out like a lot of other attorneys. Keep up the good work!" - Eli H.
