Abbey Janecek

Omaha Associate

Business and Real Estate Attorney Focused on Land Use, Construction, and Agricultural Operations

Abbey Janecek helps business owners, developers, and families bring their ideas to life with practical legal guidance and a people-first approach. Based in Omaha, Abbey’s practice focuses on business law, zoning, land use, and real estate development, with additional experience in agricultural operations, family business succession, and generational transition planning. She enjoys working alongside clients who are building something meaningful—whether that’s developing property, negotiating a lease, structuring a new venture, or ensuring a smooth transition to the next generation of leadership in a family-owned business.

Abbey understands that legal complexities can often feel overwhelming. Her goal is to make them manageable, offering clients clear options and trusted advice so they can move forward with confidence. She works closely with CPAs, lenders, and other professionals to structure deals and resolve issues efficiently. Clients appreciate her proactive mindset, steady presence, and ability to turn big-picture goals into actionable next steps.

Before becoming an attorney at Goosmann, Abbey clerked with the firm’s transactional teams on mergers, acquisitions, and real estate projects. Her background also includes political strategy, nonprofit advocacy, and business development—experiences that shaped her understanding of how regulatory, financial, and community factors come together to drive growth.

Born and raised in Omaha, Abbey takes pride in serving the community she has always called home. She is actively involved on the Junior Council for Madonna Ability Alliance, the Duchesne Academy Alumni Board, and ACG Nebraska. She is also a member of the American Agricultural Law Association. These roles reflect her commitment to giving back and to supporting organizations that strengthen Omaha’s business and nonprofit community.

Abbey’s “WHY”

Abbey’s passion for the law is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: as Audrey Hepburn once said, “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands—one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” For Abbey, that means being the person clients can call when legal challenges or opportunities arise. She is dedicated to helping others feel secure, supported, and ready for what comes next—whether that’s protecting generational farmland, launching a new business, or navigating the complexities of real estate development.
