Jill advises business clients on matters involving entity formation, governance, financing, mergers and acquisitions, real estate purchase, sales, leasing, and the sale of a company either through an asset sale or stock sale.

As a personal lawyer, she represents individuals investing in real estate and operating businesses and guides them through ownership issues including partnership and operating agreements, purchasing a home, an investment property, or investing in a friend’s business. A significant part of Jill’s practice is guiding clients through the important and necessary estate planning process and trust administration. With her planning process, her clients and their families feel comfort that financial matters and estate planning goals have been addressed and organized to reduce stress, and that the client’s team of trusted advisors are available to counsel on a regular basis, not just in a time of crisis.

Her expertise in business law and finance was refined in her work as legal counsel for the business and entertainment banking department of Mercantile National Bank. In Idaho, Jill served as the Hearing Examiner for Blaine County for four years.

She obtained her Master of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.) from NYU in order to give her clients more options for sophisticated estate planning and to provide tax sensitive guidance to clients in their business and real estate transactions.
