Melvin James Ferebee III, Esq.
Melvin James Ferebee III, Esq. serves as a Director to Jordon Voytek Capital Partners.
Melvin brings a deep understanding of transactions to his clients at Jordon Voytek Capital Partners. He has assisted clients through buy side and sell side mergers and acquisitions, commercial real estate transactions, and the formation, reorganization, and dissolution of business entities as a part of those transactions. As a lawyer Melvin has focused his practice on complex securities offerings, including Regulation D private placements, particularly in the multifamily, industrial, hospitality, and entertainment sectors, as well as Regulation S, Regulation CF, and Regulation A offerings providing him with a holistic knowledge of business growth and exit. In addition, he has regularly advised clients on venture capital transactions, fund creation, and structuring. In addition to his general investment banking capabilities, Melvin has helped clients across film, television, streaming, and literary projects with entertainment-sector transactions. In doing so, Melvin has embedded himself into their operations and decision-making processes. He strives to understand each client beyond their immediate exit needs, working to become a valued team member rather than simply an investment banker. In every transaction, Melvin prioritizes mitigating downside risk, structuring deals by assuming worst-case scenarios, and reverse engineering solutions to create properly risk-adjusted outcomes, maximizing and retaining deal value.
A native of Virginia, Melvin attended the College of William and Mary, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Government and played collegiate football. After graduation, he spent several years in the hospitality industry before earning his Juris Doctor from The University of Texas School of Law. While at Texas Law, Melvin participated in the Entrepreneurship and Community Development Clinic. After law school, Melvin built the transactional practice of a Houston-based law firm before transitioning to investment banking.
A proud father of six, Melvin enjoys filmmaking, going to the movies, and being an engaged dad in his free time.
