October Member of the Month

Jeff Dailey can be found most weeknights or weekends at a local baseball complex with one of his three sons, or splitting time between basketball courts and wrestling mats with them in the winter. When he is not coaching or cheering on his sons, he runs the Philadelphia business litigation law firm boutique, Dailey LLP, which he co-founded in 2019, after spending 19 years at one of the largest law firms in the Country.

Dailey LLP was founded by seasoned former Big Law Partners “with a mission to transform how legal services are delivered to businesses.” Dailey LLP’s client teams are structured to eliminate inefficiencies and produce better client service and results at a lower overall cost. Dailey LLP has developed a variety of internal processes to streamline how it services clients, and it utilizes several alternative fee options so that, from the outset, the firm’s clients will know that the firm’s interests are aligned with theirs. The firm specializes in handling business disputes, including disputes that arise with competitors, clients, among owners of the business, or that arise out of a merger or acquisition of a business.

Since 2019, the firm has grown from four to nine lawyers, and has offices in Philadelphia, Wilmington and New York City.

More about Jeff

What is a non-profit that you support? Other than CCPA?
Children’s Jubilee Fund is a non-profit that raises and distributes scholarship funds to provide access for low-income K-12 youth in Philadelphia, Norristown, Chester, and Camden to attend Christian schools.

What was your first job?
My first job was at 12 years old, working on a Farm. At the time, you did not have to be of working papers age to work on a Farm. My job included picking cucumbers, zucchini and tomatoes, carrying bushel baskets while corn was picked in the morning, and then loading the various baskets of corn and other vegetables on to trucks for transport to roadside stands or local markets, and working at a roadside stand selling corn and vegetables.

It’s Sunday at 10 AM. Where are you?
Usually at Covenant Fellowship Church attending church service or volunteering in Promise Kingdom (which has classes for school aged children during service).

If you “played hooky” how would you spend your day?
Preferably doing something with my family. But, if “hooky” was just me, I would spend the day doing something in the woods or on the water with no phone or email.

What is your best networking tip?
I have two that I think are equally important. First, learn to smile. Never underestimate the power of smiling, it opens a ton of doors and conversations. Second, be present in the conversation you are having (not distracted by your phone or who else is in the room) and make the conversation about the person you are talking to by asking questions and genuinely being interested in getting to know them.
