Jeffrey Bushofsky

Ropes & Gray LLP

With nearly 25 years of experience, Jeffrey J. Bushofsky is an accomplished trial lawyer who represents clients in litigation across a broad range of matters. Jeff co-leads Ropes & Gray’s commercial litigation practice. He has taken national consumer fraud class actions to trial, litigated multi-district actions in the health care and securities areas, and led cases involving technology, professional malpractice, sports and entertainment law, and white-collar crime.

Jeff has particular expertise in litigation related to private equity transactions, health care fraud, and disputes where those two areas overlap. Drawing from his litigation experience, Jeff leads internal investigations of portfolio companies for private equity clients to assess and minimize risk to fund managers and their investors.

He also advises on deals for private equity clients regarding litigation risk and due diligence, as well as the negotiation and drafting of terms bearing on post-closing disputes. Jeff’s class action expertise began in 1994, with his dispositive examination of the class representative and his post-trial briefs in the landmark case Avery v. State Farm.

Jeff is committed to pro bono work. In early 2014, he led a pro bono team in the first civil rights case under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. That effort secured new anti-discrimination protections for people living with HIV. Jeff also handles fraud and family law matters for indigent and disabled individuals, as well as asylum cases.
