Sanjay P. Ibrahim

As the Managing Partner of Parker Ibrahim & Berg LLP, Jay Ibrahim is responsible for the strategic direction and growth of the firm since its founding in 2011. Under his leadership as chair of the Executive Committee, PIB Law has evolved from a regional law firm to become a full-service national law firm that represents an array of corporate clients, ranging from Fortune 500 companies, national banks, insurance companies and financial services companies.

Jay represents clients in complex strategic transactional, corporate governance and litigation matters. He has extensive experience helping companies navigate the multifaceted minefield of business, legal and compliance issues to accomplish his clients’ objectives.

His governance experience includes advising companies and executives in crisis and risk management issues, operational changes and internal investigations, and multi-stakeholder governance.

Jay is one of the few national leaders in retail financial services where he maintains an active regulatory enforcement and litigation practice. He has led many enforcement CFPB decisions taken against large national banks since The Great Recession, and has extensive experience with many of the high-stakes regulatory matters faced by the largest financial institutions in the country.

Jay advises clients on business growth, strategy and risk management in addition to service as trusted legal counsel. As an entrepreneur himself, he understands the importance of finding a lawyer who knows his business inside and out, which is the approach he takes to advising his clients.

Jay often draws from his financial background as the Chief Risk Officer of PIB Law and his Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/US) certification. He is acutely aware of the numerous data protection and privacy challenges facing companies and has years of experience in enterprise-wide technology, privacy and data protection audits.

A proud Seton Hall University School of Law alumnus, Jay sits on the board of the law school, where he is involved in shaping policies, fundraising, alumni relations and enhancing the student experience.
