Steven C. Demby

Trusted advisor to multiple ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Deeply engaged in public policy and fundraising for 25 years. Closed numerous multi-billion dollar deals.

Steve is an irreplaceable asset to some of the highest profile owners, managers, investors and financiers in the nation. He has negotiated and advised on hundreds of deals over the course of his career, including several high-profile, politically contentious multi-billion-dollar transactions in energy and renewable energy, telecommunications and real estate, and public-private partnerships. A former COO of a company he grew from 40—800 employees and ultimately sold to a Fortune 50 company, he understands what it takes to cultivate and sell a company. Insight few other attorneys can rival. 

With nearly three decades of high-level involvement in policy efforts in Washington, D.C., Steve has orchestrated successful advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels. This includes a recent push to prevent passage of taxes targeting investment firms in states around the country. Steve draws on the relationships he has built over the years to help his clients accomplish their business goals.

Steve is passionate about giving back to the community on a local, national and international level. He serves as a national board member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and has been involved in pro-Israel activism and political engagement around the country for decades. Steve’s community leadership also includes, among many positions over the years, serving as a current member of the Board of Directors for National Jewish Health and being a founding member of the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute.
