    Jaina Green approaches every case like a puzzle and brings order and direction to complex commercial disputes. She guides businesses, insurers and in‑house counsel through conflicts that demand precision to make sense of large, fast‑moving case files. Starting with each client’s business goals, she pieces together facts, technical records and legal issues to reveal solutions to high-stakes claims.

    Known as a skilled collaborator and persuasive writer, Jaina builds strong positions that put clients on solid footing at the negotiation table and at trial. She develops clear, strategic briefs to help clients understand their exposure and options in cases involving:

        • Business torts
        • Products and premises liability
        • Third‑party actions

    Jaina also resolves insurance coverage and defense issues. She started her legal career managing a large Hurricane Ida docket, handling dozens of first‑party property cases and building relationships with mediators, experts and internal teams. This work sharpened her ability to break down complex claim files, drive efficient discovery and guide clients through structured negotiations.

    While in law school, Jaina served as senior articles editor for Southern University Law Review.
