Jean M. Folsom

Jean understands that sound business demands excellent legal results, and that her clients' unique goals should underpin and ultimately drive litigation strategy. Clients can expect Jean to zealously advocate for their business interests and seek efficient ways to secure a win. Jean is particularly interested and experienced in leveraging innovative technology to serve her clients, both in anticipation of and in the heat of litigation, and she is a proud member of the firm's Technology Committee.

Jean has played the cello at music festivals in Italy, interned with the Appellate Staff at the Department of Justice, and won awards at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair; she grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, was a lawyer with an AmLaw100 firm there, and now proudly calls Jackson, Mississippi home. Jean puts her uncommon background to work for her clients and is a sincere believer that successful people hire to their weaknesses - this holds true in the law just as much as it does in business, where the best legal minds rely on diverse perspectives to guarantee exceptional results. Jean offers experience, unyielding work ethic, and counsel a client can trust.
