Across the board, public and private clients rely on co-founder and partner Jeffrey L. Wilson for his preparation, vision, advice, accessibility, and long-term dedication to his clients.

As a litigator, Jeff guides clients through all aspects of contract and complex business disputes, trials, and appeals in New York state and federal courts. He also handles personal injury defense matters.

Municipalities, governmental agencies, and corporations appreciate his commitment to understanding and resolving their particular business and legal issues—especially those dealing with finance, insurance, data security, and the media. With over fifteen years of experience in successfully lobbying, engaging, and coordinating with New York City and State agencies, Jeff understands their unique mandates and practice requirements allowing clients to partner with agency staff and minimize administrative delays.

As a strategist, Jeff advises on deal evaluations, negotiations with high-profile companies, risk management, litigation avoidance, transactions and regulatory matters. Clients look to him for advice and direction on operating agreements, company formation, and strategic partnerships. They rely heavily on Jeff’s ability to detect contract pitfalls and his efforts to keep the deal in play. Jeff understands the challenges C-suite executives must navigate both internally and externally to the company, serving as a helpful resource to see the project from contract to implementation.  Jeff has negotiated deals with corporation counsel from the largest and most influential corporations in the country, including Apple, Ford, Bank of America, NBC Universal, Visa, and The Walt Disney Company.

Jeff also advises companies on Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) issues. He is proud that Wilson & Chan is a member of the National Association of Minority & Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) and that the firm has received MBE and DBE certifications.
