Ben Goldberg

Partner & General Counsel | Jackson, Wyoming

Early in his legal career at a traditional law firm, Ben often found himself playing the role of a firefighter—called in to put out fires after issues had already flared up. That experience inspired him to move in-house, where he could take a more strategic role, helping anticipate legal challenges before they arise and guiding the business toward proactive, practical solutions.

As General Counsel at New West, Ben advises executive and senior leadership, negotiates and reviews contracts with clients, subcontractors, employees, and vendors, and oversees legal matters ranging from compliance to risk management. He also helps implement corporate policies and coordinates with outside counsel when needed.

Ben is energized by the opportunity to work with a team that values excellence and collaboration. He thrives in the fast-paced, dynamic nature of his role, and is continuously sharpening his legal expertise, business acumen, and leadership skills. For Ben, it’s about being part of the team that builds success—not just the one that responds when things go wrong.

Favorite Quote:

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.“
