Aperçu

Financial institutions and large corporations in a variety of industries turn to Jenn Rosa for representation in complex commercial and securities litigation in federal and state courts, as well as in government agency proceedings and internal investigations. Jenn concentrates on the areas of banking and financial services, including actions involving alleged violations of the securities laws and antitrust laws, breach of contract, and allegations of fraud or misrepresentation in the sale of complex financial instruments such as residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), foreign exchange products, and other derivative instruments.

Trustees, issuers, underwriters, sponsors, originators, and servicers rely on Jenn’s experience when facing litigation, internal investigations, and government investigations arising out of their roles in RMBS transactions. In addition, Jenn represents mortgage industry clients in foreclosure and other loss mitigation proceedings, indemnification actions, putback litigations, and trust instruction proceedings. Jenn also helps financial services clients address risk management and regulatory issues arising out of legacy RMBS platforms, LIBOR transition, and other deal management issues, as well as with respect to new products and transactions.

Jenn also advises clients on e-discovery and data issues, including the crafting of policies and procedures to govern document retention, legal holds, document collection, and review and strategies for defensible management of data in large litigations.

Jenn is dedicated to the recruitment, development, and retention of talent at the firm. She serves as co-chair of the New York Office Women’s Forum and member of the New York Office Hiring Committee.
