Yasmeen has spent more than two decades helping people find their way through conflict — from families navigating divorce in upstate New York to governments negotiating climate agreements on the world stage. Her practice is built on a simple conviction: that most disputes, however complex, contain within them the conditions for resolution.
Trained at Harvard Law's Program on Negotiation and Cornell's Scheinman Institute, Yasmeen brings legal precision and deep human fluency to every room she enters. She is a New York court-certified mediator, conflict coach, and certified divorce mediator, with a practice that spans family, employment, civil, and international matters.
Yasmeen began her legal career in 2001, working across family law, criminal defense, personal injury, and civil litigation. That foundation — an understanding of what adversarial processes cost people — is what drives her commitment to mediation and restorative approaches that preserve relationships, not just resolve disputes.
Yasmeen maintains an active practice in New York and Colorado, and mediates nationally and internationally.
