Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani welcomes Jeffrey R. Makin as a Partner in the firm’s Salt Lake City office. He strengthens the Commercial Litigation practice, deepening the firm’s bench in Utah.
Makin has more than a decade of extensive experience guiding clients through complex legal challenges across various industries, including as Head of Litigation for two separate publicly traded companies. His diverse practice includes defending clients in all facets of litigation, as well as domestic and international arbitration. Makin has been previously recognized among Daily Journal’s list of “Top 40 Under 40” California attorneys.
“I was previously a partner at an Am Law 100 firm and then Head of Litigation at two publicly traded companies, where I retained GRSM for numerous litigation matters,” shared Makin. “I was impressed with GRSM’s talent, bench strength, and platform, especially for the needs of a company with a large geographic footprint. Based on that experience, I knew that when it was time to return to litigation practice at a law firm, GRSM was the place for me.”
He is admitted to practice in Utah, California, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, the U.S. District Court for the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Central Districts of California, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
