About Jennifer
Jennifer Hastedt began her academic path in economics before turning to law. She earned an M.A. in Economics from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2005 and completed her J.D. at St. Mary s University School of Law in 2009. That combination of quantitative training and legal education would shape the direction of her practice later on.
Her professional record shows a steady move into applied contract work and case-level practice. She has been a member of the National Contract Management Association since 2004 and carries multiple contract management certifications from that organization. In 2015 she opened the Law Office of Jennifer Hastedt, PLLC, where she serves as the principal lawyer. The establishment of her own firm followed years of building credentials in both contract management and financial analysis.
Hastedt has pursued formal certifications that sit at the intersection of contracts, project oversight, and financial issues. She holds the Certified Federal Contract Manager, Certified Commercial Contract Manager, and Certified Professional Contract Manager credentials from the National Contract Management Association. She is a Project Management Professional through the Project Management Institute and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst from the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts. Those qualifications inform how she prepares documents, evaluates contract risks, and analyzes financial issues in dispute settings.
Her practice blends contract work and financial analysis. Clients encounter her for matters that require contract review, negotiation, and interpretation as well as for financial investigations tied to divorce proceedings. She uses contract-management processes when handling procurements or contract disputes, and she applies financial-analysis techniques where asset division and support calculations are contested. Her background in economics underpins the numerical side of those engagements.
Outside firm leadership, Hastedt maintains an ongoing professional presence in contract-management circles through the National Contract Management Association. That involvement keeps her current on industry practices and government contracting standards. She manages the Law Office of Jennifer Hastedt, PLLC in Texas and continues to accept matters that involve commercial contracts, government contracting questions, project management concerns, and the financial aspects of family law. Her current practice focuses on contract management and financial analysis in commercial and family law matters.
