About Jessica Paluch
Jessica Paluch Hoerman blends an accounting background and legal training in ways that shape how she evaluates evidence, advises clients and structures transactions. The result is a practice that pays attention to both numbers and narrative.
Hoerman earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from Loyola University Chicago in 1991. She continued her studies at Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology, receiving her Juris Doctor in 1995. The combination of accounting and law degrees gives her a dual lens on commercial problems. She has described the two disciplines as complementary tools for analyzing risk and clarifying obligations.
Her legal career began after law school in the mid-1990s. Over the years she moved between roles that required detailed document review, contract drafting and negotiations. She has worked on matters that called for translating complex financial information into clear legal positions. Those early years shaped an approach that values precision in paperwork and pragmatism at the bargaining table.
Clients and colleagues note that Hoerman’s accounting training often informs her work. She is comfortable reading financial statements and spotting discrepancies that others might miss. That comfort carries through to transactional matters and to disputes where financial detail matters. She approaches problem solving by disaggregating issues, isolating key facts and prioritizing remedies that address both legal and monetary consequences.
Hoerman maintains current professional memberships and participates in the bar community. She keeps up with continuing education and practical updates that affect business and financial practice. Those connections help her stay current on regulatory changes and industry practice that can have direct effects on client matters.
Her practice today remains anchored in the intersection of law and accounting. She spends time advising on transactional documents, reviewing financial disclosures and resolving disputes that require both legal analysis and numerical clarity. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparation and direct in negotiation. In private practice she continues to work on matters where legal judgment and financial literacy meet, guiding clients through the technical and procedural steps necessary to reach practical outcomes.
As of 2026 she maintains an active legal practice centered on issues that combine financial analysis and legal resolution.
