Yasmine Hussein

Yasmine Hussein is an Associate Partner in the Los Angeles office of Murchison & Cumming. She has experience representing clients in all aspects of litigation through trial in the areas of personal injury, general liability, premises liability, hospitality, and transportation.

In a recent matter, Yasmine won a motion for summary judgment (MSJ) on behalf of a subcontractor client facing a potential excess liability claim. She brought the motion on duty and causation grounds. The court initially denied summary judgment asserting underlying evidentiary issues. However, Yasmine successfully argued in support of admission leading the court to reconsider its original ruling. Upon review, the court determined the evidence fully sustained the motion and it was granted in full. Yasmine was also able to secure a waiver of appeal after the motion was granted.

Yasmine grew up in Canada and obtained her bachelor's degree in economics at the University of Northern British Columbia before moving to California and pursuing law. She earned her law degree from the University of La Verne College of Law. While in law school, Yasmine interned at the California Court of Appeal under the Honorable Jeffrey King and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Gang Unit.
