Associate
Jessica M. Jimenez is an associate in the firm’s Corporate Department. Jessica represents a variety of domestic and international clients, ranging from start-up businesses to Fortune 500 companies.
Jessica represents corporate entities on contract and transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions. Jessica regularly advises clients in an outside general counsel role on a variety of matters, including those in the areas of corporate formation and governance, contract, securities, commercial lending, real estate, intellectual property, employment, and pre-litigation dispute resolution. Further, Jessica counsels clients in the negotiation and consummation of asset and stock purchases, mergers, corporate reorganizations, transfers of interest, buy-sell agreements, and corporate redemptions.
Although Jessica’s practice remains focused on contractual matters and business transactions, she has also taken part in the prosecution and defense of claims of securities fraud, misappropriation of corporate assets, breach of contract, copyright and trademark infringement, employment discrimination and labor law violations. Jessica successfully “pierced the corporate veil” to recover funds on behalf of her client in a contract dispute involving numerous sham defendant entities and was involved in a complex securities fraud case in which Barton procured a large settlement in ADR mediation for a group of high net worth shareholders. Additionally, Jessica assisted in the representation of a division of the world's largest commodities trading corporation in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings in connection with several international shipping and contract disputes.
Prior to pursuing a career in law, Jessica was Marketing Director of AdvantEdge TV Advertising, where she worked closely with the general counsel of the firm, bartered talent agreements with members of the Screen Actors Guild, and negotiated license agreements with healthcare networks, financial institutions and regional retail companies. She is fluent in Spanish, proficient in Italian and brings a variety of cultural experiences to the practice that enhance the overall diversity of the firm.
