Jasmine Daya

Chief Operating Officer | Civil Litigation & Insurance Law

Jasmine Daya is a civil litigation lawyer with over 20 years of experience and the Chief Operating Officer of Geraci LLP. She is licensed to practice law in Ontario and Alberta and is provisionally licensed in California. Jasmine has built her career representing clients in complex insurance disputes and personal injury litigation, with a particular focus on insurer conduct, coverage interpretation, and claims accountability.

​

Prior to joining Geraci LLP, Jasmine founded and led JD&Co. in Toronto, Canada, where she earned a reputation as a relentless advocate and strategic litigator in high-stakes civil matters. Her work has consistently centered on protecting clients when insurers delay, deny, or underpay legitimate claims, experience that now informs her leadership role and legal strategy at Geraci LLP.

Upon joining the firm, Jasmine identified a critical and often overlooked risk facing private lenders: the erosion of collateral value caused by inadequate, improperly structured, or poorly enforced property insurance. This insight led to the launch of Geraci LLP’s Property Damage Law Division, expanding the firm’s services to include insurance coverage reviews and representation in property damage disputes arising from wildfire, storm, water, landslide, smoke, and other catastrophic losses. While developed with lenders in mind, the division also serves homeowners and property owners across California.

 

In her role as COO, Jasmine works closely with executive leadership to drive strategic growth, operational excellence, and a client-first approach across all practice areas.

Awards & Recognition

Jasmine’s legal excellence, leadership, and community impact have been widely recognized. She has been a recipient of both the Women of Inspiration Award and the Women of Influence Award and has consistently been named on the Top Toronto Lawyers List since its inception.  She has also been a nominee for the Los Angeles Times Women of Inspiration Award, reflecting her growing influence in the U.S. legal and business communities.

​

While at Queen’s University Faculty of Law, Jasmine was awarded the Reuben Wells Leonard Prize in Business Law, recognizing outstanding academic achievement. She was also featured as one of 25 lawyers in The Litigator Magazine’s 25-Year Anniversary Edition, highlighting influential voices in civil litigation and featured as a female litigator by the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association.

She has appeared on CBC, CTV, Global News, CP24, NewsTalk 1010 and numerous additional tv and radio programs, providing legal analysis on complex insurance and liability issues.
