James P. Jalil is one of the founding partners of Shustak Jalil & Heller and heads the Firm's Securities and Corporate Department. He is resident in the Firm's New York office.

Mr. Jalil specializes in securities and corporate transactions, including contract drafting and negotiations, mergers, acquisitions, public offerings registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, private placements of securities exempt from registration, venture capital financings, and hedge fund and mutual fund formation and compliance. He also counsels public companies in connection with ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission compliance.

Speaking fluent Spanish, Mr. Jalil has represented many Latin American, as well as European clients in the United States and abroad in connection with a myriad of securities and corporate matters, including transnational and off-shore financings and corporate transactions. Mr. Jalil has been retained in the past by several European insurers in providing credit enhancement in connection with domestic housing and similar municipal bond financings.

Mr. Jalil also represents clients in securities and corporate arbitrations and litigations, including breaches of contract, employment disputes and securities violations.

Mr. Jalil's vast experience in securities and corporate transactions includes representing many clients in connection with their initial public offering, offering legal counsel through complex venture capital financings and transactions, and assisting international clients in complex domestic and offshore negotiations. He is often sought after as much for his counsel as for his legal representation.

Since 1998 Mr. Jalil has served as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Fordham University School of Law in New York City where he teaches Securities Regulation. He is the author of Proposals For Insider Trading Regulation After the Fall of the House of Enron, published in the Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law, 8 Fordham J. Corp. & Fin. L. 689 (2003).

Mr. Jalil began his career at the prestigious law firm of Cahill Gordon & Reindel in New York where he spent the first ten years of his career representing major investment banking firms and Fortune 500 companies. He brings that legal experience and dedication to client service to every one of his clients, regardless of size.

Mr. Jalil is a member of the American Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association, where he served on the securities law committee from 1986 through 1992.

Jim is an avid, though not particularly talented, golfer and a proud grandfather.
