The firm is committed to giving our lateral lawyers a complete and meaningful integration experience. As the firm’s director of lateral integration, Jill works closely with the firm’s internal administrative departments, existing attorneys, and management to lead the firm's successful transition and integration program for lateral lawyers and groups. Jill is responsible for assisting new partners and the partners’ department chairs and practice group chairs with their business and marketing plans and creating relationships among partners with intersecting practices and/or client bases.
Jill chairs the firm's Lateral Integration Committee, comprising leaders from the firm's legal departments, our strategic expansion team, a representative from the firm's DEI committee, and the firm's chief marketing officer. Jill, working alongside the integration committee, ensures that each lateral partner receives the support necessary to maximize their potential from the time they accept their offer throughout their first 18 months to two years at the firm.

For over five years, Jill practiced law at Cozen O’Connor and at another large Philadelphia law firm. She also served as Cozen O’Connor’s director of legal recruiting for four years.

She earned her law degree, cum laude, from Temple University Beasley School of Law, where she was awarded membership into the Rubin Public Interest Law Honor Society and completed a fellowship with the Honorable Marjorie O. Rendell on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
