Jennifer Ball is a life sciences lawyer who advises companies on contracts, compliance, and the operational and legal issues that arise as products are developed, commercialized, and brought to market. Drawing on extensive in-house experience in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare industries, Jenn provides practical, strategic guidance tailored to each client’s goals, risk tolerance, and stage of growth.

Jenn’s perspective is shaped by years of in-house leadership across a range of life sciences organizations. She previously worked at Syngenta, advising on global R&D, licensing, regulatory matters, and M&A transactions, and later held roles at a clinical research organization, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, a gene therapy company, and a metabolomics laboratory. This experience gives her a deep understanding of how scientific companies operate, develop products, and navigate regulatory complexity.

Clients value Jenn’s efficiency, insight, and ability to translate technical and legal complexity into clear, actionable strategies. Whether advising a startup on its first licensing agreement or supporting a global enterprise through a significant transaction, she brings a thoughtful, responsive approach grounded in real-world industry experience.

Earlier in her career, Jenn practiced in Delaware at one of the state’s largest law firms, advising limited liability companies and partnerships. After relocating to Raleigh, she joined a boutique firm representing startups throughout their lifecycle—from incorporation and fundraising to successful exits—experience that continues to inform her work with innovative companies.

Outside of her practice, Jenn enjoys spending time with family and exploring local trails and greenways.
