Megha Parekh, Executive Vice-President and CLO of the Jacksonville Jaguars

Life after One-L: This is the unofficial (and unaffiliated) podcast auditory extension of your favorite legal-drama series, Suits. Joining me today is Megha Parekh, Chief Legal Officer of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The first NJ native on the podcast, this Manalapan(ian?) started her career at Harvard, obtaining her undergraduate in three years before graduating magna cum laude from HLS in 2008. While a law student, Parekh interned at the Boston Red Sox, an experience that served as her entry point into sports law. Interviewing in 2007 and 2008, Parekh began at Proskauer Rose—having declined other firms’ offers—where her early work in sports law expanded into M&A and international deals amid the financial crisis. In 2013, after working on Shahid Khan’s acquisition of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Parekh would join the team herself as part of the in-house counsel team. Today, Parekh serves as the CLO and executive vice-president of the 2026 AFC South champions.
