About

Vice president and associate general counsel Jeffrey Weissman joined World Fuel Services in 2009. He led the Company’s defense of complex environmental and related wrongful death and personal injury tort litigation arising out of the derailment of a train in Lac Magentic, Quebec carrying the Company’s product. ‘Jeff possesses key strengths rarely found in lawyers of any age,’ says Mark Filip of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. ‘First, he is very adept in different substantive areas of law. Second, he is a great legal analyst who can cut to the heart of issues. Third, he makes serious judgments and does so in a thoughtful way. He’s a real asset for World Fuel Services.’ Prior to joining World Fuel Services, Weissman was general counsel at Ryder System’s Fleet Management Solutions division.
