In addition to representing employers in litigation, Jenny routinely handles high-stakes investigations involving alleged violations of federal and state employment laws and company policies.

Recently, Jenny successfully defended a Fortune 1000 company in a six-day jury trial in the Eastern District of Texas. She also co-led four-day (California) and three-day (Hawaii) wage and hour bellwether arbitrations, winning each on all counts, which subsequently resolved over 300 pending arbitrations.
