Jennifer’s antiterrorism casework includes advocating for September 11, 2001 families and survivors in groundbreaking litigation targeting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and others who are accused of helping al Qaeda carry out the attacks. She also helps terror victims file claims through the U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund.
Jennifer represents consumers who allege software company Blackbaud failed to protect their private information in a 2020 ransomware attack and subsequent data breach, leaving them susceptible to identity theft and other cybercrimes.
Jennifer was part of a team that represents dozens of governmental entities, including states, cities, towns, counties and townships in litigation against several pharmaceutical drug manufacturers and distributors for the alleged deceptive marketing of highly addictive opioids. She also represented people and businesses affected by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
