McCarter & English has appointed Jeffrey Mann as a partner in its IP practice group based in New York.

“He is particularly skilled in focusing the business, technology, and legal parties on the broad-view goals of the transaction. That’s an incredibly valuable and important service for clients," he added.

He advises and conducts due diligence on the IP, information technology, and privacy aspects of corporate, financial restructuring, real estate, structured finance, and insurance transactions.
As an International Association of Privacy Professionals designated Certified Information Privacy Professional, Mann also advises on data privacy, cybersecurity, and technology matters, including data licensing, cloud services, and outsourcing issues.
He is a member of the IP transactions committee of the New York Intellectual Property Law Association and is set to join the emerging issues committee of the International Trademark Association in 2024.
In addition to Mann, McCarter & English has made five additions to its IP team in 2023 including partners Michael Sartori; Alex Korona; James Smedley; Dave Christensen; and special counsel David Kincaid.
