About Jennifer A.
Jennifer A. Sayad took a direct path into the practice of law. She earned her J.D. from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, then moved into courtroom and appellate work that spans state and federal systems. Her education grounded her in substantive law and procedure, and she translated that training into litigation practice.
She rose through the ranks at Zgheib Sayad, P.C. and became a partner in 2017. That promotion marked a turning point in her career. As a partner she has shared responsibility for case strategy, client counseling and firm management. The title reflects years of practice and a steady docket handled alongside colleagues at the firm.
Ms. Sayad is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey, and she holds admission to the Federal Circuit. Those jurisdictions shape the work she undertakes. She regularly handles matters in state courts across both states and pursues filings and appeals in the federal system. Her Federal Circuit admission allows her to pursue appeals and federal-level questions that arise from patent, administrative, or other federal determinations.
Her professional life includes membership in local legal groups. She belongs to the VIP Bar Association and the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association. Those affiliations keep her engaged with peers and current developments in practice. She participates in the bar community through attendance and collaboration rather than public office or committee leadership.
At Zgheib Sayad, P.C. she practices from the firm’s offices and coordinates with co-counsel and clients on a variety of matters. The firm setting is small enough to allow direct client contact and large enough to manage complex filings across multiple courts. Her role involves drafting pleadings, preparing briefs, and representing clients at hearings and conferences.
Colleagues describe her work style as methodical and steady. She prepares cases with attention to procedural detail and aims to present issues clearly in filings and at oral argument. Outside the courtroom she devotes time to staying current on changes to state and federal rules that affect litigation practice.
Her current practice centers on litigation and appellate matters in New York, New Jersey, and federal venues, conducted from her position at Zgheib Sayad, P.C.
