“We are exceptionally pleased to welcome Jordan in New York,” said Managing Partner Martin Fletcher. “We see tremendous synergies with his corporate and technology experience, both in our growing New York network and across our expanding East Coast profile.”
Over a 12-year tenure at a Global Fortune 500 company, Mr. Kanfer managed a large legal and compliance team, oversaw a multimillion-dollar budget and played a pivotal role in corporate governance, M&A, regulatory affairs and data security. He also served as COO of the company’s Global Enterprise Solutions Division, where he managed operations, delivery, engineering, product, marketing, HR and sales for one of the world’s largest data center providers.
“We are thrilled by Jordan’s decision to join us in New York,” said Paul Nussbaum, Co-Managing Partner of the New York Office. “It’s a tremendous endorsement of our strategy for growth in the city, which is to provide a full service, value-centered platform for corporate and middle-market clients of every description. This is another important step in that direction.”
Mr. Kanfer’s experience includes serving as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary to the Board for a multi-billion-dollar telecommunications company, where he directed legal, compliance, HR and real estate operations. He is an adjunct professor at New York Law School, teaching technology, contracts and corporate law.
“I see Whiteford as an ideal platform,” said Kanfer. “Along with impressive corporate and litigation capabilities, it has a deep full-service bench, national reach, and a commitment to value that resonates powerfully with in-house counsel. I’m excited to play a part in its next chapter.”
