Jeff Golimowski Partner

Jeff is a trusted advisor to businesses navigating their most complex and high-stakes disputes, with a focus on post-merger and post-acquisition litigation, particularly in the private equity and private credit space. He also maintains a construction practice, especially in matters involving highly regulated industries. He represents clients across a broad spectrum of commercial controversies, serving as lead counsel in disputes spanning state and federal courts. His deep experience in these areas has positioned him as a go-to litigator for companies facing the unique challenges that arise after a deal closes or when a major construction project goes sideways.

Jeff maintains an active litigation practice handling post-acquisition disputes from the earliest stages of a transaction through post-closing enforcement. He routinely counsels’ clients on protecting themselves and their assets during the deal process and, once a transaction closes, helps them preserve and exercise the rights they bargained for. His work runs the gamut from holdback disputes to indemnification claims to recovery of insurance proceeds. His business acumen and pragmatic approach allow clients to navigate sensitive and difficult disputes while remaining focused on running their businesses with minimal disruption. Given the frequent intersection with private equity and private credit in these types of cases, Jeff is known for his acumen in representing sponsors and lenders in the unique challenges they face, particularly involving roll-ups.

In construction, Jeff represents companies from the moment a project appears headed for a dispute through successful resolution after the last punch list item is complete. His construction industry clients include Fortune 500 corporations and small-to-midsize entities for whom a failed project could mean a failed company. He handles matters involving complex regulatory requirements, multi-party disputes, and large-scale project failures, bringing aggressive litigation tactics and a single-minded focus to every engagement.

Jeff’s background as a former broadcast journalist and public relations professional gives him a distinctive edge in high-profile matters. With substantial experience in crisis management, he leverages this knowledge to ensure his clients prevail in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion.

Before entering private practice, Jeff served as a law clerk to the Honorable Jane R. Roth of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and to the Honorable Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
