Cassandra Jacobsen, an associate in Cozen O’Connor’s Labor & Employment Department, has been named a 2024 “Up & Coming” attorney. Each year, Minnesota Lawyer recognizes a group of new attorneys already making a splash in the legal community and the legal professionals who play a critical role in helping the lawyers look good in court and the offices. All of the Up & Coming Attorneys honorees are in their first decade of practice. 

Jacobsen’s practice centers on guiding employers through a wide range of employment issues. She provides advice on workplace policies, discrimination, harassment, and problematic employees, conducts workplace investigations, and assists employers in understanding and complying with ever-changing state and federal laws. Jacobsen also leverages her extensive litigation experience to represent businesses in disputes related to employment, contracts, partnerships, trade secret and confidential information protection, and enforcement of restrictive covenants. She frequently speaks and trains on emerging issues in employment law and litigation to business, bar, and industry trade associations.
