JAMIE (CAPONERA) TSANATELIS
Associate
Since joining Rower LLC in 2023, Jamie has represented individuals in myriad family and matrimonial matters. A sharp litigator, Jamie advocates for her clients’ interests in complex financial divorces, custody matters, and in seeking orders of protection. Simultaneously, she works with clients to settle matters creatively out of court. She has successfully negotiated prenuptial agreements for high-net-worth individuals and consulted with clients in mediation with third party neutrals.
Prior to joining Rower LLC, Jamie was a litigation associate at Winston & Strawn LLP and Thompson Hine LLP. Jamie’s practice focused on various aspects of business litigation, from antitrust to employment litigation, securities litigation, and many things in between. During this time, she developed her interest in family law through her pro bono practice, in which she has represented individuals in visitation and child custody matters in family court.
Jamie graduated from the University of South Carolina, cum laude, with a dual degree in political science and criminal justice. She later attended St. John’s University School of Law, where she received her JD, cum laude. When in law school, she was a teaching assistant for Legal Writing and Criminal Law. Additionally, she competed in the St. John’s mock trial program and served as an articles editor for the St. John’s University Law Review.
Jamie grew up in Westchester, New York but now lives in Queens. In her free time, she enjoys spinning, reading, enjoying all the amazing food New York City has to offer, and spending time with her husband, family, friends, and her dog, Leo.
