For more than two decades, Jay Reeves was a familiar voice in the pages of the Lawyers Mutual newsletter. His column, Ask the Risk Man, blended practical guidance on risk management with reflections drawn from everyday life. Jay’s readers will remember stories of his children, his years growing up in small-town South Carolina, his early days practicing law in Charleston, and his enduring love of baseball and vinyl records.

Jay’s ability to weave lessons about law and life into warm, relatable narratives made him a trusted advisor and a beloved storyteller for our insureds. His words often reminded us that while law is a serious business, it is also a profoundly human one.

We’re delighted to share that Jay has launched a new writing venture, Jay’s Stories, a weekly Substack newsletter dedicated to “the essential, enduring, and effervescent power of story.” In his words, stories “shape and define us,” and by sharing them, “we complete the circuit, and love flows.”

Subscribers can expect the same humor, insight, and heart that have always defined Jay’s work. Upcoming stories range from a meditation on Marvin Gaye’s classic What’s Going On, to an encounter with the grave of baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson, to musings on Wordle, optimism, and even Albert Einstein.

We invite you to join Jay on this new journey. Subscribing to Jay’s Stories is free, and each week you’ll find a new reflection waiting in your inbox. Whether you’re looking for practical wisdom, a reminder of the joy in everyday life, or just a good story well told, Jay delivers.
