Three Am Law 100 firms are advising on the potential sale of the National Football League’s Jacksonville Jaguars by current owner J. Wayne Weaver to Illinois auto parts magnate Shahid Khan, who has pledged to keep the team in Florida.
The Jaguars, who joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1995, have struggled in recent years both at the gate and on the field.
