Jeffrey C. Gifford
Member, Attorney at Dykema Gossett PLLC
About
Jeffrey C. Gifford draws separate deal parties onto one plan and closes mergers and acquisitions. He designs joint ventures, prepares the documents, and puts each one into operation. He counsels clients on securities transactions, both public and private. He handles domestic and international commercial transactions for those clients. He works with accountants and investment bankers to resolve issues the transaction raises. He earned his J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1999 and a B.A. from Brigham Young University in 1996. He shapes his role to the client's goals, whether that means leading the whole deal or handling one part of it, and he keeps the parties working toward the same closing.
