Practice

As Managing Principal of Porzio, Bromberg & Newman, D. Jeffrey Campbell applies to firm management the same thorough preparation, attention to detail and focus on individual needs he formerly used in serving prominent corporate clients.  The drive he exhibited over 20 years as a successful product liability and commercial litigator helps him pursue business opportunities and encourage individual employees to excel.  During his 12 years as Managing Principal, Jeff has been a catalyst for forward-looking change, including the introduction of rigorous strategic planning, the development of a nationally touted paralegal utilization program and the launch of two subsidiaries.  He has overcome the inevitable challenges facing entrepreneurial organizations, leading the firm through a period of vibrant growth, both in numbers and in the services it offers to clients.  From nationwide litigation to dynamic leadership, his career has embodied the full meaning of the firm’s vision: “serving the best interests of our clients by serving the best interests of our people.”
