Jeffrey Judd, a veteran of “big law” for over 20 years, led litigation teams that successfully resolved major disputes for some of the largest businesses in the world. Jeff is rated AV “Preeminent for Ethical Standards and Legal Ability,” by his peers (Martindale-Hubbell), and “10 Superb” by his clients (AVVO). As a litigation partner of an AmLaw 50 firm, O’Melveny & Myers LLP, Jeff observed how the scale of a big law firm can interfere with attorneys’ efforts to provide responsive, cost-effective and efficient solutions to many legal problems. Jeff formed Judd Law Group LLP to provide an alternative for businesses, and the people who own and operate them. Jeff focuses on complex litigation and sophisticated transactions involving business practices, intellectual property, real property and products. Read his BLOG here.
