About Jamie R.
Jamie R. Adams built her academic foundation on the West Coast. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Southern California in 2004 and completed her J.D. at Pepperdine University School of Law in 2007. Those years shaped her legal training and prepared her for practice in California.
After law school, Adams entered practice in California. She is admitted to the California bar and has developed a career rooted in the state's legal environment. Over time she has handled matters that arise under California law and worked with clients across different sectors, applying the skills she developed in law school to real-world problems.
Her work has been based in a major national firm. At Greenberg Traurig LLP she serves as an attorney advising clients and participating in the firm’s broader practice. Her role involves researching complex legal issues, drafting documents for transactions and litigation, and counseling clients on statutory and regulatory questions. She works with colleagues across offices to coordinate responses to client needs.
Colleagues describe Adams as methodical in her approach. She breaks problems into manageable parts. She weighs statutory text, precedent, and practical consequences when recommending a course of action. Her courtroom experience and transactional work inform one another; she uses lessons from each to refine strategy in the other.
Clients who seek counsel in California find that local knowledge matters. Adams draws on her education and years practicing in the state to interpret how local courts and regulators may view a dispute or a deal. She keeps abreast of shifts in state law and applies that information to her client work.
Outside the office, she has maintained ties to the legal community through professional contacts and continuing legal education. Those activities keep her current on changes in law and help her maintain a practical perspective when advising clients.
In her current role at Greenberg Traurig LLP, Adams focuses on advising clients on matters arising under California law and representing them in related proceedings and transactions.
