Jeff Stein

Retired Partner

Jeff Stein was a leading corporate lawyer who advised rapidly growing public and private technology companies and their investors for more than four decades. Since 1983, he counseled boards, management teams, and investors through every stage of the company lifecycle—from formation and early‑stage financings through multiple rounds of preferred equity, public equity and debt offerings, acquisitions, founder redemptions, and exit transactions. His work ranged from early‑stage financings to multibillion‑dollar capital raises and acquisitions. He retired from WilmerHale in 2023.

Mr. Stein focused on corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, securities law compliance, and corporate governance, with deep experience advising companies on SEC, NASDAQ, and Sarbanes‑Oxley requirements. His transactional work spanned public and private M&A and numerous financing structures, including IPOs, PIPEs, Rule 144A convertible debt offerings, and Rule 506 private placements. His clients operated across industries such as digital media, FinTech, internet and semiconductor technology, life sciences, biotechnology, medical devices, clean technology, software, and social enterprise. Mr. Stein was also active in professional education and entrepreneurship, serving as an adjunct professor of Corporate Finance at Boston College Law School and speaking frequently on legal and business issues affecting high‑growth companies. He held membership with the Advisory Council for Entrepreneurship @ Cornell.
