Guardian Industries Corp. has announced the appointment of attorney David Jaffe as its General Counsel, responsible for all worldwide legal matters.

He also was named Secretary of the corporation.



Jaffe joined Guardian in 1990 and has held a variety of legal positions over the past 17 years. He lived and worked in Luxembourg and served as General Counsel of Guardian Europe, S.A. (1996-2000) and was named Associate General Counsel for Guardian Industries in 2000. In this role, he has overseen Guardian's international, merger and acquisition and corporate legal work. Throughout his Guardian career, Jaffe has been closely associated with Guardian's corporate and international development activities including negotiating and providing continuous legal advice for the company's joint ventures around the world.

Rehnquist at the Supreme Court of the United States. Jaffe attended the The University of Chicago Law School where he received his J.D. with honors, and served as a research assistant to former Attorney General Edward H. Levi.
