About Jamie A.
Jamie A. Levitt took a traditional path through elite schools before entering private practice. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania in 1988 and a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School in 1992. Those years framed his legal training and shaped an approach that blends academic rigor with practical problem-solving.
After law school, Levitt moved into private practice and built a career that has crossed state lines. He is admitted to the State Bar of New York and the State Bar of New Jersey. Those dual admissions allow him to represent and advise clients on matters that touch both jurisdictions.
Today Levitt is a partner at Morrison & Foerster LLP. As a partner, he shares responsibility for managing client relationships and supervising teams on significant matters. Colleagues describe his style as steady and exacting. Clients work with him when they need reliable legal counsel rather than rhetorical flourish.
Over the years Levitt has worked on matters that require careful legal analysis and coordination across courts and regulatory bodies. He is comfortable handling complex schedules and supervising detailed transactional or litigation work. He brings a methodical approach to deadlines and filings, and he emphasizes clear communication with clients and other counsel.
Outside the office, Levitt’s career reflects a conventional pattern for lawyers who split time between two closely connected state bars. That means frequent engagement with state court rules, local practices, and the practicalities of cross-border representation between New York and New Jersey. He leverages his academic background to explain legal options clearly and to map out realistic paths for resolving disputes or closing deals.
Peers and clients rely on Levitt for judgments that favor clarity over spin. He tends to frame issues in plain terms and to lay out tradeoffs in ways that people outside the legal profession can understand. He keeps the mechanics of a matter visible while attending to its larger legal consequences.
He is a partner at Morrison & Foerster LLP and handles matters in New York and New Jersey as part of his current practice focus.
