Samantha Hoffman

Samantha Hoffman serves as firm managing principal and member of the board of directors. A long-trusted advisor to her clients and the firm, Samantha believes in mentoring and supporting junior lawyers to grow into leadership positions and continue helping Jackson Lewis be a leader among law firms breaking the “glass ceiling.” Samantha has worn many administrative hats at the firm, including office managing principal of the Orange County office, where she was responsible for quadrupling the attorney headcount over an 8-year period of growth with the addition of lawyers who understand the particular issues facing clients in Southern California. She has simultaneously played a key role in expanding the geographic footprint of the firm, along with a dedicated focus on recruiting and firm innovation. As a member on the Peer Review committee, she worked to further the firm’s deeply held culture of teamwork and collaboration and understands that fostering relationships among Jackson Lewis lawyers translates to more effective partnership with clients. Prior to joining Jackson Lewis, Samantha Hoffman practiced international tax at a Big Four Accounting firm focusing on U.S. and international tax planning for multinational corporations. This practice area involved not only tax planning, but overall review and understanding of a company’s business and operations.
