In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin speaks with Jasmine Weg, founder of Weg Law PLLC, a New York-based law firm focused on litigation, business disputes, construction law, and strategic counsel for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Jasmine is also the host of Exhibit A-List, a podcast where she breaks down legal issues, celebrity disputes, internet culture, and modern business controversies in an accessible and entertaining way.

Jasmine shares how a childhood argument with a school principal first planted the seed of a legal career, and how an unconventional path — pausing college, raising a young son, and returning to law school on a full scholarship — ultimately led her to found her own firm during the uncertainty of COVID-19. What began as insurance defense litigation grew into a full-service practice serving business owners and entrepreneurs on everything from contract drafting to commercial disputes.

She also discusses how viral TikTok videos about trending lawsuits gave rise to Exhibit A-List, why she believes contracts are at the root of nearly every high-profile legal dispute — from Taylor Swift to Blake Lively — and why she never turns down an opportunity to give someone fifteen minutes of her time, even when there's no case in it for her.

- Founding Weg Law PLLC after being laid off during COVID-19
