The National Law Journal has launched a profile series of plaintiffs bar leaders. Each Q&A will take a personal look at the attorney’s career and legacy as well as discuss industry trends.

In this edition, Selendy Gay Elsberg founding partner Jennifer Selendy is talking about her passion for litigation, her take on work-life balance and ‘creative ways’ corporations are exploring to avoid Chapter 11 proceedings. She also shares her experience with the 30 Birds Foundation she co-founded earlier this year—an organization that managed to evacuate several hundred Afghan girls and their families from the conflict-ridden country.
