Jeanne M. Gills Named Among 2024 Notable Women in Law by Crain’s Chicago

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Jeanne M. Gills was named among the 2024 Notable Women in Law by Crain’s Chicago Business.

Honorees are recognized for their track record of legal success, mentorship of the next wave of women in law, and impact on giving back to their communities.

Gills’ unparalleled commitment to advocating for her clients, combined with her ability to formulate solutions at a deeply strategic level, has earned her a national reputation in intellectual property litigation and for crafting her clients’ overall IP strategy. She brings that same thought leadership to her role as a member of Foley’s Compensation Committee, her role as vice chair of the Intellectual Property Department, and her service on the firm’s Manufacturing Sector Advisory Board.

Gills is equally as committed to advancing others and regularly utilizes her connections to help those around her. She is a staunch champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession and founded Foley’s African American Attorneys Affinity Group, the Black Patent Network, and the Chicago Black Partners Alliance.
