About Jack C.
Jack C. Auspitz trained at two of the country's oldest institutions. He received his A.B. from Columbia University in 1964 and went on to earn his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1968. Those credentials set the stage for a long career in private practice.
He has spent decades practicing law in New York. He is a member of the State Bar of New York and has held senior roles in large law firms. Over the years he moved into advisory and counseling positions, taking on matters that draw on accumulated judgment as much as on technical legal skill.
His title of Senior Counsel at Morrison & Foerster LLP speaks to that advisory role. As Senior Counsel he has been called on to advise on complex transactions and to provide guidance on litigation strategy and regulatory questions. Senior Counsel positions often pair deep institutional knowledge with responsibilities to mentor younger lawyers; his career reflects that blend of practice and institutional memory.
Columbia and Harvard are early chapters in a long professional story. The Harvard J.D. in 1968 places him among lawyers whose careers span major shifts in the legal and business landscapes. He has practiced through changes in corporate regulation, securities law, and the growth of global law firm platforms. Those changes have altered how lawyers deliver work and how firms organize, and his career has adapted along with them.
Peers and clients have looked to senior lawyers like him for steady counsel when matters are complex and consequences are significant. In the role of Senior Counsel he has been a resource for litigation teams and transactional groups alike. He has also contributed to the institutional practices of the firms where he has worked by refining internal approaches to client-service and case handling.
He currently serves as Senior Counsel at Morrison & Foerster LLP, providing advisory and counseling work to the firm's clients based on his years of practice and legal training.
