Deals, Decisions, and Life-Defining Moments with Jared Miller

In this episode of Counseller’s Corner, Dean Jeremy Counseller sits down with seventh-quarter law student Jared Miller, a CPA who holds two master’s degrees, is a husband and a father, to talk about carving a strategic path to transactional practice. Jared shares why he left a successful accounting career with a Big Four accounting firm for law school, how Baylor Law School’s Professional Tracks, Special Distinctions, and transactional competitions prepared him for real-world dealmaking. He also emphasizes how prior professional experience can transform abstract legal concepts into concrete business realities.   And then there’s that story: Jared shares a memorable story about negotiating in an American Bar Association mergers and acquisitions competition mere hours after the birth of his daughter.   The conversation offers insight into preparation, perspective, and the realities of navigating high-stakes professional moments alongside major life events.
