Jennifer's Bio

Jennifer joined ADP in June 2022, bringing with her a breadth of experience in corporate and business law that she is excited to put to use in fulltime service of the animal rights community.

Throughout her career, Jennifer has sought to use her skills and knowledge to build and empower clients. Acting as outside general counsel to small and medium-sized businesses, she has counseled clients on a wide variety of matters: business formation and structure; business succession planning and ownership transfer; merger, stock purchase, asset purchase and other corporate transactions; shareholder/partnership disputes; employment practices and disputes; joint ventures; and negotiation and drafting of vendor, client and other commercial agreements and licenses. She has also represented clients in litigation and arbitration matters arising from contract, ownership, employment, and other business disputes.

Jennifer started her legal career in a small corporate law and commercial litigation boutique, following the firm through several transitions before joining Ingram Yuzek Gainen Carroll & Bertolotti, LLP in 2006, where she became a partner. After leaving Ingram in 2012, Jennifer worked in legal technology, first with Kira Systems, a Toronto-based legal software provider, and then on a series of projects with the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York.

Jennifer earned a B.A. from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, before moving to New York City where she earned a J.D., cum laude, from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (Yeshiva University). While in law school, Jennifer worked in Cardozo’s Bet Tzedek (“House of Justice”) Civil Litigation Clinic, representing low-income elderly and disabled people seeking health, disability, and housing benefits.

Jennifer lives in Northern New Jersey with her family, including dog Rosie and cats Stripes and Simba. She is active in her community, serving as an officer and board member of Mountain Top League, a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit youth sports organization, and on the steering committee of a public school advocacy group.
