Jen advocates for her clients with intelligence and integrity, and is particularly adept at navigating the unique strategic and procedural challenges of complex legal matters and class action litigation.

Jen represents clients in a wide variety of areas, including environmental, consumer, securities, and employment disputes.

Jen is currently a member of the team prosecuting claims on behalf of the State of Maryland, the State of Delaware, and the City of Seattle against multinational chemical manufacturer, Monsanto, seeking to hold the company accountable for environmental contamination caused by Monsanto’s sale and marketing of PCBs.  Prior to joining Keller Rohrback, Jen worked closely with other members of the firm as co-counsel representing the State of Oregon in a similar case against Monsanto, which resulted in a $698 million settlement, the largest environmental settlement in Oregon’s history. At her prior firm, Jen was also a member of the team representing investors in the Aequitas Ponzi scheme class action, which resulted in a $235 million settlement.
