Evelyn’s practice focuses on a broad range of complex commercial litigation, including securities litigation, business disputes, financial and contract disputes, and white collar defense in all stages of litigation, from pre-litigation counseling and investigation through discovery and trial, as well as the appeals process. She regularly guides individual and corporate clients through federal civil and criminal government investigations and enforcement proceedings. Evelyn represents clients across a wide range of industries, including financial services, early stage companies, real estate, and sports & entertainment. In addition, she is experienced in managing the electronic discovery process, and frequently handles large data matters involving litigation, internal investigations, and governmental inquiries.
In addition to her complex commercial litigation work, Evelyn maintains an active pro bono practice, specifically focusing on counseling and representing clients in matters related to their immigration status.
Prior to joining Mintz, Evelyn was an associate in the Boston office of a large, international law firm, where she represented investors in complex affordable housing development acquisitions and transactions.
Evelyn is a member of the Women’s White Collar Defense Association, and is a 2024-2025 Boston Bar Association Public Interest Leadership Program fellow. She currently serves on the Associate Board for Summer Search, was selected as an Emerging Leader by the Base, and has served as Deputy Regional President in the New England region for the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA).
While attending law school at Boston University School of Law, she worked as a student prosecutor with the school’s criminal clinic where she represented the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in prosecuting “operating under the influence”, larceny, and drug possession offenses. She also served as Co-President of BU Law’s Latin American Law Student Association (LALSA) chapter, and was a note editor for the Public Interest Law Journal.
Before she attended law school, Evelyn completed a one-year dual urban education fellowship through MATCH Charter High School and AmeriCorps in Boston, where she taught, tutored, and mentored high school students across a variety of subject matters, and advised high school seniors throughout the college application process as a college counselor.
