John Taddeo, Esq.
Having spent my career assessing talent for companies ranging from start-ups to the Fortune 10 I feel I am uniquely qualified to state that John is truly a level above many of the attorneys I have recruited for and with.
–Lou Reda, Managing Director, the Kennedy Group
John Taddeo has become an extension of our executive team with his strategic insights on corporate structure, protecting IP, and limiting liability. We turn to him every time we make a major decision or sign a significant contract.
–Sandy Martin, VP, Florida Supercon and Raleigh Supercon
John Taddeo has a rare and valuable combination of legal and business expertise which gives him the ability to serve clients across a remarkably broad range of issues and opportunities.
–Bill Jemas, Former President of Marvel Entertainment Group
John not only finds solutions to current issues, but he also has the vision to prevent future ones. He has done an amazing job solving a number of issues for us. We look forward to working with John and his partners for many years to come.
–Bob Coakley, Chairman, Coed Magazine
Quite simply, John possesses an incredible work ethic.
— Dr. Richard J Macchia, MD, FACS, Cleveland Clinic
John has a laser focus and the ability to do the research and know the subject matter faster and in more depth than his competitor and uses the research wisely to his clients’ benefit.
–Lou Reda, Managing Director, the Kennedy Group
Working with John for more than 20 years, I have known him to be unfailingly diligent, intelligent and trustworthy.
–Bill Jemas, Former President of Marvel Entertainment Group
John’s early careers first an entrepreneur with multiple retail locations – while completing his undergraduate degree, the time he spent creating a subcategory in the trading card business for Marvel. The amazing wealth he created for not only himself but for investors. To each, he brought the “gotta get it done attitude” that he uses to solve his clients’ legal dilemmas.
–Lou Reda, Managing Director, the Kennedy Group
As a tax and corporate attorney (at Simpson Thacher and Bartlett and the NBA) who made the transition to business management (at NBA Properties (SVP), Madison Square Garden (EVP), and Marvel Entertainment (COO)), I can say, without hesitation that John ranks among the most talented, hardworking and accomplished executives and attorneys I know.
–Bill Jemas, Former President of Marvel Entertainment Group
You can do no better than John to assert and or protect your legal interests!
–Lou Reda, Managing Director, the Kennedy Group
I’ve known and worked with John for over 25 years. He is a wealth of knowledge and it is terrific seeing him take these skills into the legal arena. His background and experience coupled with his knowledge of law make him a valuable part of any team.
— Bob Coakley, Chairman, Coed Magazine
For multiple decades I was a professor and chairman of a large successful urology residency training program in an academic medical center in New York City. I interacted with many individuals of widely varying talent and vision in the medical, entrepreneurial, and bureaucratic environments. I would have been delighted if my institution had retained the services of an individual with John’s capabilities. He now functions as my personal advisor on legal and financial matters.
— Richard J Macchia, MD, FACS, Cleveland Clinic
I can attest to his intelligence, honesty, reliability, and trustworthiness. To me, these are all essential personal characteristics. The absence of just one would have required me to decline to author this letter. In all settings, he is considered the leader while promoting that sense of collegiality and teamwork, which is essential to the success of any enterprise.
— Dr. Richard J Macchia, MD, FACS, Cleveland Clinic
When John sets a goal for himself, one is assured that he has assessed all aspects of the issue and reached a reasoned course of action. He is an individual of high mental and physical energy and enthusiasm. He works very well under pressure.
— Dr. Richard J Macchia, MD, FACS, Cleveland Clinic
I have known John now personally and professionally for approximately 8 years. John has a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and experience. He conveys that impression immediately to all who meet him.
— Dr. Richard J Macchia, MD, FACS, Cleveland Clinic
I have not, do not, and would not hesitate to seek John’s council on any significant business or legal matter.
–Bill Jemas, Former President of Marvel Entertainment Group
