Y. Jeannette Tran

Jeannette handles high-stakes civil litigation and regulatory matters for the financial services industry. A former trial attorney representing the U.S. at the U.S. Department of Justice’s Tax Division, Jeannette brings more than a decade of experience managing financial litigation, fraud investigations, enforcement actions, and issues related to foreclosures, receiverships, debt collection, and bankruptcy. She also advised federal agencies on foreign bank account reporting requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act, Administrative Procedure Act, and other federal statutes and regulations.

While with the DOJ, Jeannette negotiated a $77 million payment to the U.S. government for back taxes and secured both bench and jury trial verdicts. She also advised federal agencies and senior leadership on complex legal matters and litigation risk — experience she now uses to assist leading financial institutions and fintechs. She represents clients through all phases of litigation, from large-volume fact and expert discovery through trial, settlement negotiation, and appeal, and she is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jeannette’s other public-sector legal work includes serving as an appellate attorney adviser for the Social Security Administration and as an assistant attorney general at the Washington State Office of the Attorney General focused on civil and administrative litigation for the state Department of Social and Health Services.
