Jeff Sharp served as Marshall Gerstein's Managing Partner from 2002 to 2026 — one of the longest tenures of any managing partner at a major IP firm. During that time he guided the firm through a period of profound change in both the legal industry and the innovation economy, growing the firm to more than 110 lawyers and legal professionals while preserving its independence and its exclusive commitment to intellectual property law. That commitment — rooted in a belief that a focused IP firm delivers greater value to clients — defines the firm's identity today as Chicago's largest independent IP boutique.
