Jaime currently focuses her practice on patent litigation, along with handling other intellectual property disputes and advising clients on litigation and licensing strategy. She has tried six patent cases to verdict in jury and bench trials, in technology areas as diverse as computer software, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and audio and video coding. Most recently, Jaime served as case manager and technical lead on a 2024 trial that resulted in a $242 million verdict, the third-largest patent verdict in Delaware history.

Since relocating to Texas in 2009, Jaime’s practice has spanned patent litigation and complex commercial litigation with noted boutique firms, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in federal and state courts.


Jaime also maintains an active pro bono practice focusing on animal law and policy. In her former role as Legal Advocacy Counsel for the ASPCA, Jaime provided “second chair” trial assistance to prosecutors handling criminal animal cruelty cases across the country, along with helping to develop the ASPCA’s animal protection litigation section. She now puts these skills to use as Board Vice President and Legislative Chair of the Texas Humane Legislation Network, where she drafts and reviews legislation, testifies at committee hearings, and presents on various animal law topics across the state. Jaime is also committee vice-chair, clinical instructor, and volunteer judge for the Texas High School Mock Trial Competition.
