Overview

Biography

Jennifer represents clients in all phases of complex commercial litigation in state and federal courts, particularly in cases pertaining to criminal white-collar and financial regulatory matters, including those involving alleged fraud, breach of contract, fiduciary misconduct, and regulatory enforcement. She regularly advises individuals and businesses responding to government subpoenas, navigating internal investigations, and managing parallel civil and criminal proceedings. Her work spans all stages of litigation, including drafting dispositive motions, managing discovery, and supporting strategic case development through trial or resolution. Jennifer also has experience conducting regulatory research and analysis across a range of federal and state legal frameworks, including matters involving licensing, compliance, and intergovernmental relations.

Jennifer’s experience in the federal judiciary informs her practical, strategic approach to litigation. She supported the resolution of complex civil and criminal matters—including constitutional claims, discovery disputes, and prisoner rights cases—while clerking for the US District Court for the Northern District of New York. She also gained deep insight into immigration law and appellate advocacy as a judicial law clerk for the US Department of Justice at the Board of Immigration Appeals, where she drafted decisions involving asylum eligibility, criminal-based grounds for removal, and professional misconduct.
