Terri Mascherin, Co-Chair of Jenner & Block’s Litigation Department and Education Practice and a Fellow of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers, was featured in The American Lawyer’s Litigation Leaders Series, which highlights the “litigation practice leaders at some of the biggest and most innovative law firms in the country.”
“Litigation has always been a strength for Jenner & Block, and the litigation department is one of our highest-performing practices. That gives us a tremendous advantage in attracting outstanding trial lawyers to the firm, and also in attracting lawyers in other practice areas who serve clients whose litigation needs perhaps aren’t being well met at their current firms,” Terri said in the profile.
“The size of our litigation practice also gives us an enormous bench, which is very helpful in pursuing engagements for large, high-stakes disputes. We have seen this recently in our monitorship practice, where size can really matter,” she added.
When asked about the firm’s biggest in-court wins and the firm’s approach to success, Terri cited the Appellate and Supreme court team’s landmark victory in Haaland v. Brackeen, the jury verdict in Chicago holding the nation’s largest egg producers and industry groups liable for conspiring to inflate egg prices, and Co-Managing Partner Katya Jestin’s efforts to secure the first-ever release of a high-value detainee from the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp.
“These victories aren’t cookie-cutter wins. We don’t have a ‘type’ of case that we handle at Jenner & Block. What we do have are tremendously skilled trial lawyers, a willingness to invest resources into a case—regardless of whether it’s a paid or a pro bono matter—and sheer tenacity to pursue justice,” she said. “Lawyers come to Jenner & Block not just because we’re known as a litigation powerhouse, but because of our values: we embrace our role in shaping a brighter future for our people, our clients, and our communities."
