Jeannil is a go-to advisor for clients—from Fortune 50 companies to tech startups and high-profile individuals—when faced with urgent, sensitive, and complex employment issues and crises.
Jeannil Boji creatively and effectively addresses complicated and delicate employment matters before they become expensive and publicized problems.

Jeannil also regularly handles workplace investigations and internal compliance issues, and she provides employment law-related training, particularly to companies concerned about #MeToo issues, sexual harassment and discrimination, or racial discrimination and bias.
