Jacqueline A. Brooks
Partner
Duane Morris LP
As a corporate and finance attorney with the law firm of Duane Morris LP, Jacqueline A. Brooks represents clients in matters ranging from mergers and acquisitions to private equity and commercial law.
Her clients range from public and private real estate investment trusts, family-owned businesses and manufacturing clients to emerging companies.
Brooks also is passionate about community service and pro bono work. As a fellow of the Maryland State Bar Association Leadership Academy, Brooks helped lead a small business boot camp in West Baltimore that provided aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners with seminars on business planning and law.
What is the most important thing you do in your job?
For me, it’s a tie between being a problem-solver to help clients navigate the path of getting to their dreams, whether that’s becoming an entrepreneur, buying or selling a business and reaching a successful exit, and being available to mentor students and associates on being a business lawyer and navigating private practice. It is my honor to give back as there were many that were mentors to me as a first-generation attorney in my family.
What’s one aspect of your profession you would lie to change?
The traditional method by which attorneys in private practice bill time in six-minute increments.
If you weren’t in this industry, what would you be doing?
If I wasn’t an attorney, I’d probably be a sports agent.
