About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Fink has built a multi-decade career that moves between courtroom practice, dispute resolution, and collaborative processes. He trained at Columbia Law School and the University of Pennsylvania. Over the years he has combined private practice, in-house roles, and service in professional organizations.
Fink earned his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1984. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania in 1981, where he read Oriental Studies and International Relations. Those academic years preceded a steady entry into law firms and, later, practice settings that emphasize problem solving outside the courtroom.
His early years in practice included associate roles at Reboul, MacMurray, Hewitt, Maynard & Kristol in 1987, Perkins Coie LLP in 1989, Friedman & Kaplan in 1990, and a senior counsel position at Proskauer Rose beginning in 1994. Those posts spanned litigation and transactional environments and gave him exposure to a broad set of client needs and firm cultures.
In 2005 he took on a membership role at Convergent GC, LLC, an experience that placed him closer to corporate counsel perspectives. In 2008 he opened the Law Office of Jeffrey Fink and began operating as a lawyer, mediator, and arbitrator. Since then he has handled matters from the neutrals’ side and maintained counsel work when appropriate.
Fink maintains active involvement in professional associations. He serves as Vice-Chair for Ethics on the American Bar Association’s Dispute Resolution Section Collaborative Law Committee. He has been a member of the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council’s Board of Directors since 2012 and co-chairs its Collaborative Business Law Committee; he also participates on that organization’s Public Education Committee. He is a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and a member of the Massachusetts State Bar. He is also involved with the Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation.
Colleagues describe his work as practice-driven and professional. He shifts between serving as advocate and serving as neutral, depending on what a case requires. His collaborative law work aligns with his committee work on business and public education initiatives, which often brings practitioners together to refine procedures and promote non-adversarial options.
He is admitted to practice in New York and Massachusetts. He currently operates the Law Office of Jeffrey Fink as a lawyer, mediator, and arbitrator and works on matters involving mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law.
