Jim Fipp

Jim’s unique background and work experience allow him to give his clients top-tier legal analysis and advice at an exceptional value. He does this by simplifying complex legal issues for his clients so they can focus on running their businesses.

Jim spent seven years in private practice at the international law firm of Hogan Lovells US LLP before joining BHGR. While at Hogan Lovells, Jim represented clients in a wide range of corporate and transactional matters. One of that firm’s clients, WhiteWave Foods Company, seconded Jim as Senior M&A Counsel. During his secondment, he collaborated directly with that company’s executive team to advance its vision through strategic acquisitions. 

Jim joined BHGR in 2016. He advises clients on a broad range of business and corporate matters, with a focus on representing emerging and growing companies and private equity and venture capital investors. 

Jim also advises clients on choice of entity, business formation, strategic planning, equity financing, divestitures, reorganization and restructuring, joint ventures, commercial arrangements, securities law matters, corporate governance, and general commercial and contract matters.

Before going to law school, Jim worked for Cargill, Inc., a leading agriculture company. At Cargill, he directed business operations for various districts within the Animal Nutrition Division. This experience proved invaluable for understanding the issues private and public companies face in running their daily operations, engaging in commercial transactions, and strategic planning for the future.
