A 1985 graduate of Harvard Law School, Jeff Wieand worked on his first aircraft transaction two years later. "I was immediately fascinated by the complicated interactions of FAA regulations, federal and state tax laws and traditional legal issues like liability protection," he recalled. "Back then, business aviation law was just starting to come into its own, and I was lucky to get involved." After becoming senior vice president and general counsel at Boston JetSearch, Inc. in 1999, Jeff joined the National Business Aviation Association's Tax Committee. He has been active in organizing and speaking at educational seminars. In his free time, he serves as an elected official on the Board of Selectmen in Concord, Mass.
