Jeff Turner works with domestic and international clients to advance their business objectives on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch. He has extensive experience in advising companies involved in transactions that might be of interest to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), in particular, transactions that raise significant public policy issues or that otherwise might be of interest to members of Congress.

Collaborating with colleagues in the Public Policy Practice Group, which he led for many years, he and his teams help block harmful legislation and regulations, encourage Congress and regulatory agencies to adopt favorable legislation and regulations and navigate the challenges of congressional investigations.

Jeff focuses much of his practice on public policy issues related to privacy, tax and trade, and energy policy, as well as sanctions policies that principally target international energy companies. Jeff has led teams on “bet-the-company” projects, including ones in which Congress will have a major role in the outcome.
