Mayer Brown expands West Coast private investment funds capabilities with addition of Jarrod Huffman

Mayer Brown announced today that Jarrod Huffman has joined the firm as a partner in its global Funds & Asset Management practice in Los Angeles. Jarrod joins from Morgan Lewis.

“Jarrod is a highly respected private funds lawyer with deep experience advising fund sponsors and institutional investors on the formation, structuring, and operation of real estate, private equity, and other alternative investment vehicles,” said Timothy Clark, co-leader of Mayer Brown’s global Funds & Asset Management practice. “His dual strength on both the GP and LP sides of the market adds valuable dimension to our team and supports our strategic priority of expanding our private investment funds capabilities, particularly on the West Coast.”

Jarrod advises clients on forming and operating private investment funds, joint ventures, co investments, and managed accounts. With nearly 20 years of experience, he has a deep understanding of the private funds market and the needs of institutional investors. His work spans real estate funds, secondary transactions, venture capital funds, buyout funds, credit funds, and customized investment vehicles tailored to specific strategies and investor requirements. He is known for helping clients navigate market terms, negotiate complex contracts, and efficiently close capital commitments, and he maintains a significant investor side practice representing institutional investors across fund types.

“Mayer Brown’s platform—particularly its sophisticated real estate, funds, and finance capabilities—offers the ideal environment to continue expanding my practice and to deliver integrated, commercial solutions for fund sponsors and investors,” said Jarrod. “The firm’s commitment to growing on the West Coast—including recent expansions in its real estate and hospitality practices—reinforced that this is the right place to be. After speaking with the team, it was clear that Mayer Brown offers the collaborative, strategic environment that best supports my clients and the continued growth of my practice.”

“We are delighted to welcome Jarrod to Mayer Brown,” said John Nadolenco, managing partner of the firm’s Los Angeles office. “His arrival significantly enhances our real estate fund formation capabilities and supports our long term growth strategy in California. Jarrod’s work with major institutional investors and real estate sponsors strengthens our ability to serve clients in a dynamic and expanding market.”
