The JF Difference

Collective Expertise
We foster a “one firm” culture, ensuring clients benefit from our collective expertise and best thinking. Our talent and expertise are seamlessly shared across leadership and client service teams, allowing us to deliver the right mix of fresh thinking and tailored expertise to meet every unique situation with flexibility and precision.
Deep Experience
With over 25 years of guiding clients through their most critical moments – and even better, helping many avoid them – we bring unparalleled perspective, a network of trusted partners and advisors, and a high-stakes mindset to every engagement. Each client receives equal focus on delivering the best results and our full expertise, no matter the challenge.
Independent and Entrepreneurial
Our independence is an asset. Our partners think and act like owners of our firm because they are. Our entrepreneurial spirit extends to the network of top-tier advisors we choose to work with in other jurisdictions or disciplines. Free from the constraints of holding companies or global service networks, we handpick the best talent to serve our clients’ needs.
Integrated Approach
Our in-house Governance, Design, Digital and Research groups work in lockstep with our client service teams, seamlessly aligning with each client’s assessed needs and situation. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive, customized solutions to help our clients tell their stories with clarity, impact and creativity.
