Jill's extensive knowledge about employers' rights and obligations combined with her ability to explain complex labor regulations in practical terms make her invaluable to corporate executives and human resource officers concerned about legal issues in the workplace. Jill has over 23 years of in-depth legal experience focused primarily on advising businesses on labor and employment matters.
