Jeff leads a vibrant private markets practice centered around complex business transactions and non-regular way financings where his two decades of experience are applied to overcome obstacles and drive deals to a close across a range of private asset strategies, including venture and growth equity, M&A, private credit, and investments in physical assets.
The oldest son of a lawyer and diplomat, Jeff’s practice has been forged in centers of power including Wall Street and Washington, D.C. Jeff’s mentors impressed upon him early in life that some of the most effective counselors operate discreetly behind the scenes and, by design, his practice has grown largely by word of mouth and warm referrals from, and vetted through, a network of trusted colleagues.
In addition to mainstream corporate and institutional clients, Jeff is often called upon by sophisticated private parties that value influence and discretion. As a result, Jeff regularly represents generational family offices; prominent professional athletes, executives, and politicians; and international investors of varying backgrounds that appreciate his time-honored values, trusted advice, and attention to personal service.
Jeff has been named as a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers, one of Georgia Trend magazine's "Legal Elite" (Business Law and Corporate Law), and his insights have been prominently featured in publications including The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Foreign Policy.
A fourth generation Atlantan, Jeff is a member of various for-profit and non-profit boards, and private membership organizations throughout the Southeast. He is also a certified firefighter and former chief of a volunteer fire department in the shadow of the Nation’s Capital.
