Jordan Salzman

Based in Husch Blackwell’s Chicago office, he is an associate in the firm’s Mass Tort & Product Liability practice group. Jordan brings a practical and analytical approach to litigation, working closely with clients to understand their objectives and develop effective strategies for navigating complex legal issues.

Prior to joining the firm as an associate, Jordan gained substantive litigation experience as a summer associate and law clerk at Husch Blackwell. In those roles, he drafted written discovery and dispositive motions in product liability, toxic tort, and other civil litigation matters; researched complex liability and regulatory issues; and prepared case assessments and responsive pleadings. Jordan also supported deposition strategy through detailed document analysis and gained transactional experience drafting and reviewing leases, employment agreements, and other contractual documents. These experiences strengthened his legal research, writing, and case-analysis skills and provided a strong foundation for his litigation practice.

Throughout law school, Jordan simultaneously served in the Army National Guard, balancing his legal education with the demands of military service. After completing Officer Candidate School, where he earned Honor Graduate recognition, Jordan commissioned as a Cavalry Officer and later graduated as the Distinguished Honor Graduate of the Armor Basic Officer Leadership Course. In 2024, he paused his legal studies to deploy to Somalia, where he served as the deputy base commander of a small airfield. Following his deployment, Jordan returned to law school and graduated as valedictorian of UIC School of Law’s Fall Class of 2025.

Jordan approaches each matter with careful analysis, sound judgment, and close attention to detail. He values clear communication and collaboration with clients and colleagues and remains focused on developing practical, efficient strategies that advance his clients’ objectives.
