About Jefferson
Jefferson Fink built his professional foundation at Iowa State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science in 2013 and later returned for a Master of Arts, completed in 2016. He finished his legal training at Drake University Law School, receiving his J.D. in 2016 and earning certificates in legislative practice and constitutional law while there.
After law school, Fink became active in Iowa's legal community. He has held membership in the State Bar of Iowa since 2017. That membership has run alongside positions in both private practice and in roles tied directly to the statehouse. His academic credentials reflect a mix of policy and law that has informed his subsequent career choices.
Early in his post-bar career he worked at Sellers Galenbeck and Nelson in 2022, moving from associate-level practice into roles that combined client counseling with litigation preparation. In 2023 he took on duties as a lobbyist and legislative counsel at Capitol Group, a role that placed him inside the legislative process and required frequent interaction with lawmakers, staff and stakeholders.
Fink has pursued additional training in dispute resolution. He completed an ADR Masterclass at the Caulkins Academy of Dispute Resolution covering mediation, lawyer advocacy, conciliation and arbitration. He also holds Drake Law School certificates in Legislative Practice and in Constitutional Law and Civil Rights. Those credentials suggest comfort with both courtroom settings and negotiation tables.
His mix of legislative work and alternative dispute resolution training makes him familiar with the intersection of law and public policy. He has worked on matters that require translating policy goals into practical legal language. He is accustomed to drafting legislative language, advising clients on regulatory trajectories and helping craft responses to proposed statutes and rules.
Clients and colleagues describe him as methodical and direct in his approach. He tends to prefer practical solutions over rhetorical flourish. That pragmatism is apparent whether he is preparing a regulatory filing, briefing a statutory issue, or conducting a mediation session.
Jefferson Fink practices from the Law Office of Jefferson Fink, where he combines his legislative counsel experience and ADR training in serving clients. He is licensed to practice law in Iowa and maintains active membership in state bar organizations. He currently handles matters that include legislative counsel, mediation and related legal work.
