Testimonials

"Jason Tucker and I have worked together – sometimes intensely so,  including on trials where we worked around the clock many times – for nearly three decades. I know him well and have seen, first hand, his legal acumen in everything from writing briefs to cross examining hostile  witnesses.  He is an excellent litigation strategist and one of the toughest and most effective negotiators I’ve ever seen. Unlike many who have his litigating skills, Jason isn’t one dimensional:  he certainly knows how to fight like hell in court, but also has an innate instinct of knowing when and how to cut a favorable settlement out of court.  He is masterful at dealing with insurers and never loses sight of his client’s business objectives. 

Tough as he can be, Jason also exemplifies the highest ethical standards of our profession.  Opposing lawyers respect him because he can be counted on to keep his word and to do exactly what he says he will do.  Judges listen to him because he is a straight shooter and always consummately prepared.  And clients rely on him for their critical problems because he takes the time to make sure they understand  the potential risks and rewards of strategic choices and empowers them to make educated decisions about their matters.  I highly recommend Jason without reservation."

“I had the pleasure of working with Jason since 2004, when we both started at Putnam Investments, through the middle of 2025. Over the last few of these years, when I served as General Counsel, we worked even more closely, including during the period of Putnam’s acquisition by Franklin Templeton, which closed in 2024. Over the years, I witnessed Jason guide our company in navigating a variety of complex issues, ranging from regulatory inquiries, high stakes litigation, and critical employee matters to run of the mill commercial disputes, business counseling, and risk avoidance.

Throughout, Jason applied a combination of keenly honed instincts for avoiding trouble through wise counsel with a singular moral instinct and a fierce ability to fight when called to do so. He faced off with countless outside counsels, regulators, and counterparties of all types, and used his legal acumen, writing skills, and dogged determination to pursue his clients’ interest with success. Jason is also an excellent listener—his ability to “read” an individual is unmatched, and of great value in sorting through complicated and sometimes unclear matters to understand the crux of an issue. In addition to his skill set, he’s a great collaborator and colleague. I recommend him as a trusted advisor in his field."

"I had the pleasure of working with Jason for 14 years at Putnam Investments. In my role as Director of Compensation, I worked with Jason on some challenging issues. He was excellent to work with, thorough, knowledgeable, hard working and determined to get to a positive result. I always knew when I picked up the phone to call Jason that I was in good hands and would get the support I needed!"

"I strongly recommend Jason as a strategic partner in corporate law. Jason guided me as we navigated many decisions over the decade+ that we worked together. He has strong working relationships with HR and business partners alike. He is able to clearly weigh considerations on tricky decisions. Jason is always available, highly responsive, and ready to jump in quickly to work through any situation. He is the kind co-worker who remembers personal details about his colleagues. He is a lot of fun to work with too. Jason played a role in a few of our employee resource groups and shared openly, allowing others to do the same. I highly recommend hiring Jason and partnering with him on all your legal issues! "
