Jasmine N. Brown represents clients in complex commercial litigation, government enforcement matters, and internal investigations across the life sciences, health care, technology, financial services, and education industries. She brings first-chair responsibility for case strategy and discovery management in high-stakes disputes, and her prior service as a judicial law clerk to the Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court gives her a distinctive perspective on appellate advocacy and judicial decision-making. Jasmine is admitted to practice in Massachusetts, the District of Columbia, Maryland, and North Carolina, allowing her to coordinate multi-jurisdictional matters for clients facing geographically dispersed legal challenges.

Jasmine regularly handles trade secret and restrictive covenant disputes, including pre-litigation investigations and enforcement actions for pharmaceutical and life sciences companies seeking to protect proprietary and confidential information when senior employees depart. She works to negotiate resolutions that preserve client interests without the cost of protracted litigation, and she has secured dispositive rulings narrowing claims ahead of trial. Her commercial litigation practice spans breach of contract, tortious interference, business interruption insurance coverage, and Uniform Commercial Code claims, with experience preparing matters through trial readiness, including jury instructions, witness examinations, and exhibit strategy.

In the government enforcement space, Jasmine defends companies and individuals responding to civil investigative demands from U.S. Attorney’s Offices, Department of Justice and FBI investigations, False Claims Act litigation, and congressional inquiries. She designs and manages large-scale document review programs, coordinates privilege protocols, and develops strategic responses calibrated to government priorities. Her internal investigations work includes conducting witness interviews and delivering findings reports for hospitals, financial services companies, and educational institutions facing allegations ranging from workplace misconduct to regulatory compliance concerns.

Jasmine has been recognized as a National Black Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 in Massachusetts (2025, 2026) and named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch for Commercial Litigation (2026).
