Book Jazmyn to Speak
The room shifts

What changes when Jazmyn is in the room.

01

Practitioner Judgment.

Seventeen-plus years in high-stakes legal rooms, including more than six years as a partner and shareholder at two AmLaw 100 firms advising institutions, executives, business owners, and high-value talent through decisions where leverage, reputation, risk, and future value were all in play.

02

Plain-English Translation.

Complex legal risk becomes clear, practical, and immediately useful for audiences who are making decisions in real time. No jargon. No CLE-style theater.

03

Frameworks Audiences Keep Using.

Audiences leave with tools for spotting risk, protecting leverage, structuring roles, and knowing when counsel should be in the room. The kind of takeaways that show up in someone’s decision the following Monday.

Flagship Keynote

The High-Stakes Room.

Legal strategy for women leading work, wealth, reputation, ownership, negotiation, and legacy.

A leadership and negotiation session for people who make decisions under pressure. Jazmyn draws from seventeen-plus years in rooms where leverage, reputation, ownership, and future value are all in play at once, and translates those moves into a framework audiences can apply the next day.

The Four-Step Method
  1. Read the room. Identify power, leverage, and the pressures shaping the decision before words hit the table.
  2. Protect leverage. Preserve future options before speed, access, or emotion narrows them.
  3. Structure the ask. Frame terms, roles, and expectations so the paper matches the intent.
  4. Know when counsel belongs in the room. The difference between advice given early and advice given after the fact.

Best for: Women’s leadership conferences, Black Enterprise, NAWL, CCWC, Women of Power, private salons, executive retreats, founder communities, and sponsor-hosted convenings.

Formats: Keynote · Fireside · Leadership session · Moderator-led conversation

Audience leaves with: A practical approach for reading the room, protecting leverage, and knowing when legal strategy belongs in the room, plus the negotiation and information-management moves that shape long-term outcomes.

Vertical Keynote

Before the Money Moves.

Legal protection for athletes, families, founders, and first-generation wealth.

For athletes, families, founders, and executives navigating opportunity that is moving faster than infrastructure. Jazmyn walks audiences through what to ask before signing, posting, committing, transferring, accepting money, or relying on an advisor. Topics include NIL contracts, entity structures, family roles, reputation, morality clauses, use rights, exclusivity, approval rights, termination, and the operating agreements most advisors avoid.

Sub-topic within this talk: This Is Family Business, a culturally grounded framework for protecting talent, power, ownership, and legacy.

Best for: Athlete-family conferences, NIL summits, sports business events, wealth advisors, banks, family offices, sports-parent organizations, universities, collectives, athlete agencies, sponsor activations, and private salons.

Formats: Keynote · Fireside · Private salon · Workshop

Audience leaves with: A practical, checklist-driven framework for protecting value before pressure, speed, or access shifts the leverage, with specific questions to ask before any NIL, agent, contract, or family-enterprise decision.

Also Offered

Focused briefings and adapted talks.

Executive Briefing

Whiplash Workplace.

How leaders should plan for a labor landscape that changes every four years.

Labor and employment law now moves in election cycles, agency reversals, court challenges, and workplace-culture flashpoints. Jazmyn gives HR, legal, and executive leaders a durable framework for leading through labor volatility without rebuilding strategy every four years.

Sub-topic within this talk: Traditional Labor Is Back, the boardroom-ready briefing on organized labor’s resurgence.

Best for: Corporate ERGs, HR conferences, legal departments, executive teams, public entities, higher education, management associations, L&D programming, and leadership development calendars.

Formats: Executive briefing · CLE · Keynote · Workshop

Sports Business Briefing

NIL Collectives Are the New Unions.

Why NIL collectives are already bargaining without a CBA, and what that means for schools, athletes, and the market.

A briefing for university leadership, athletic departments, sports-business audiences, collectives, and the advisors around them. Jazmyn maps how NIL collectives are functioning as de facto bargaining units, the labor-law questions college sports is not yet answering, and the practical steps schools and athlete families should take before the market decides for them.

Adapted from Jazmyn’s LinkedIn analysis, The New Unions: Why NIL Collectives Are Already Bargaining Without a CBA.

Best for: University leadership, athletic departments, conference offices, NIL collectives, sports-business summits, athlete-family audiences, and the advisors who work with them.

John Gerak
Managing Director, Ogletree Deakins · Crain’s Cleveland Business 40 Under 40

“Jazmyn Barrow was initially recommended to me by a trusted colleague in my field as our business was navigating a sensitive workforce and governance matter. Her judgment was sharper than what we were getting from larger firms, and she consistently delivered clarity, discretion, and a plan we could actually execute.”

Counsel to a $500+Million Non-Profit

“Our daughter is an athlete navigating a contract that had the potential to negatively impact her NIL opportunities down the road. Jazmyn was invaluable, she took the time to understand our family’s goals, carefully reviewed and redlined the agreement, and negotiated on our behalf to secure a much more favorable outcome. She brought both confidence and clarity to a situation that felt overwhelming, and her guidance allowed us to move forward knowing we had made the right decision for our daughter’s future.”
