As the leader of the banking and financial services practice, Conn steered the group to one of its best years ever in 2021, exceeding financial goals by a significant margin. The practice under his leadership has routinely outpaced predicted metrics, which he attributes to his laser-focused, process-oriented leadership strategy driven not by results but by process execution. This philosophy has been rewarded with the firm representing many of the largest national financial institutions as well as several regional and local banks to provide legal counsel on many types of sophisticated transactions.

Pittsburgh banking and financial services member Craig Russell noted, “Jeff holds himself to a high standard of excellence and expects the same from his team. But, as a leader he never loses sight of the human element, that we’re a group that works and supports each other, helping each other to succeed and grow.”
