Biography

Jeff Gilmore is an associate in Jackson Walker’s Fort Worth office. Jeff represents a variety of clients, primarily focusing on those in the field of aerospace. Jeff also serves as the live TV host and color commentator for the world’s only private aircraft auction that is presented quarterly by his client, Assent Aeronautics.

While Jeff’s practice focuses on aerospace litigation and aircraft transactions, he has also represented banks, insurance companies, entrepreneurs, religious institutions, franchisors, railroads, and small businesses. Jeff has experience in complex product liability cases, multi-district royalty litigation, fiduciary litigation, probate matters, power-of-attorney disputes, trade secret litigation, and the arbitration of a business divorce.

Prior to his legal career, Jeff earned MVP honors on Stanford’s baseball team, where he graduated in just three years. Drafted by the Seattle Mariners as a right-handed pitcher out of Stanford after his junior year, Jeff pitched in the farm systems of the Mariners, the Blue Jays, and the Rockies. During each minor league off-season, Jeff worked in corporate finance as an analyst for Cisco Systems in the Bay Area.

Licensed to fly since age 18, Jeff owns and operates a Cessna 421 Golden Eagle that is based at Fort Worth Meacham Airport. Over his flying career, Jeff has amassed flight time in more than twenty different aircraft, ranging from a Piper Super Cub floatplane to a Citation CJ2 business jet. Jeff trains annually at both the AST simulator facility in Central Texas and alongside Southwest Airlines pilots at their Love Field simulator facility.
