Drawing on her experience in government investigations and federal enforcement actions, Jasmine has guided clients through government investigations and litigation brought by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission involving allegations of consumer, health care, and securities fraud. She has helped corporate clients respond to state and federal False Claims Act qui tam actions.

Jasmine also has significant experience in employment litigation involving state and federal anti-discrimination laws and other employment-related statutes.

In 2019, Jasmine was seconded to the Dallas District Attorney's Office to prosecute criminal cases as an assistant district attorney.

Before entering private practice, Jasmine served as a law clerk with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas and to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas.
