Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The Paul, Weiss community mourns the passing of our partner, trusted colleague and dear friend Jason S. Tyler, who passed away on March 2 after a lengthy illness.

Jason was an exceptional attorney and a deeply respected and valued member of the firm. A partner in the firm’s  Â鶹ÊÓƵ Department within the M&A Group based in the firm’s Wilmington, Delaware office, Jason focused his legal practice on transactional and corporate governance-related issues, helping boards of directors, special committees, sponsors and other investors navigate and execute their most complex transactions, including public and private company M&A, restructurings and many other transactions.

Jason was raised in Scarsdale, New York. He attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. In 2005, he graduated from The Johns Hopkins University (Anthropology and Film & Media Studies), and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Jason began his career in the film industry before pivoting to a legal career.

In 2011, Jason earned a law degree from New York University School of Law, where he was a Robert McKay Scholar and notes editor of the New York University Journal of Law & Business. Following law school, Jason clerked for (retired) Vice Chancellor Donald F. Parsons, Jr., of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and developed a passion for Delaware law. He joined Sullivan & Cromwell LLP as an associate in 2012 and Wilmington, Delaware-based Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP in 2013. In 2016, he joined Paul, Weiss as an associate in the Wilmington office. He was promoted to counsel in 2020, and was elevated to the partnership in January 2025. He was admitted to the New York and the Delaware bars.

Jason was sought out by his partners and by clients for his encyclopedic knowledge of Delaware law, providing essential advice on countless transactions. He was very active and well-respected across the Delaware bar, and was a member of the Corporation Law and LGBTQ+ sections of the Delaware State Bar Association. He regularly wrote on emerging issues in Delaware corporate law.

Jason loved Paul, Weiss and his practice; colleagues appreciated his dynamic, fun personality, his love of fine art and film, and his efforts to mentor junior lawyers at the firm. Until his very final days, Jason insisted on working, engaging and interacting in his uniquely brilliant and spirited way with his colleagues. He will be deeply missed.

Jason is survived by his mother, Ann M. Galvani, a retired BSF (partner) and Cravath (associate) attorney and an author; a brother, Henry Schneiderman, an artist; and many close cousins, loving relatives and dear friends.
