Jen collaborates with firm attorneys regarding the acceptance of new business, including resolving ethical and business conflicts of interest, drafting engagement and conflict waiver letters, reviewing and negotiating outside counsel guidelines, and implementing ethical walls to reduce the firm’s risk profile.
