CHICAGO, March 6, 2025: Further enhancing its leading labor and employment litigation practice, Morgan Lewis today welcomes partner Jill Vorobiev in Chicago. Jill arrives from Reed Smith and will continue to represent employers in complex litigation matters, including employment discrimination lawsuits, whistleblower cases, trade secret and noncompete matters, and disputes and other matters arising under ERISA, the ADA, and the FMLA.
“As employers face increasingly complex discrimination, whistleblower, and retaliation claims, they rely on accomplished counsel to navigate these matters and protect their businesses,” said Firm Chair Jami McKeon. “Jill’s formidable record in high-stakes employment disputes and deep advisory experience make her an invaluable resource for our clients.”
Jill represents corporate clients in a variety of complex litigation matters in federal, state, and appellate courts and before arbitrators and administrative review judges. She advises on significant labor and employment matters, handles sensitive high-level executive matters and investigations, and regularly negotiates executive severance agreements. Jill additionally trains and counsels employers on federal and state employment laws and compliance matters and reviews policies and high-level employment agreements.
“Jill’s practice enhances our strengths, particularly in the areas of restrictive covenant and employment counseling and litigation, while her deep industry ties in healthcare, transportation, and technology further solidify our presence in Chicago,” said David McManus, leader of the firm’s global labor and employment practice. “With strong relationships among our Chicago partners and a reputation for client trust, legal acumen, and fierce advocacy, Jill is a natural fit for our team and our firm.”
Jill is the latest addition to Morgan Lewis’s Chicago office in the last year, following insurance recovery litigator Emily Garrison; technology transactions partner Marina Aronchik; financial services litigator Stacie Hartman; and commercial litigator Mohamed Awan.
