Jessica Grant

Partner with Morrison Foerster

A nationally recognized first chair trial lawyer, Jessica is often asked to take over cases on the eve of trial, particularly high-stakes cases in an array of business litigation matters. She has extraordinary first-chair experience, including successfully trying three cases over $100 million and two cases over half a billion dollars. For her work in these trials, Jessica has twice received the California Attorney of the Year award.

Jessica also has substantial class action, product liability and employment experience, including serving as lead trial counsel in one of the largest wage and hour class actions ever to be tried to verdict. She also has extensive IP litigation experience in complex cases involving patent, copyright infringement, and trademark matters, from inception of the case through trial. Jessica’s ability to handle trials across disciplines at a moment’s notice makes her a highly sought-after litigation lawyer. Jessica is also frequently called upon to defend key company witnesses at deposition and to help clients avoid litigation altogether or achieve favorable results short of trial.

Outside MoFo, Jessica is a member of the International Association of Defense Council and serves as a mediator in the San Francisco Superior Court Early Settlement Program. Previously, Jessica taught mediation as an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law and served as an instructor at the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.
