Jennifer Ward
Jennifer Ward is the Owner and Managing Partner of Ward Law, LLC, a certified woman-owned law firm with offices in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Florida. With a career dedicated to the strategic defense of Employment Practices Liability (EPL), Professional Liability (PL), and Directors & Officers Liability (D&O) matters, Jennifer is a fierce advocate—known for her sharp instincts, relentless work ethic, and laser-focused efficiency.
She is also widely recognized as a resolution expert, with a clear ability to cut through complexity, identify inflection points, and drive claims toward efficient and successful resolution. Clients turn to Jennifer not only for her legal skill, but because she operates like a true business partner: strategic, responsive, and unwavering in her commitment to results.
Jennifer has earned a formidable reputation for aggressively defending professionals across diverse industries, including law, finance, real estate, insurance, and design, as well as corporate directors, officers, and fiduciaries. She doesn’t just manage cases—she moves them forward with purpose, precision, and a resolution-focused mindset that saves time, money, and relationships.
Under Jennifer’s leadership and vision, Ward Law was honored with the prestigious 2025 Women Owned Law Firm (WOLF) of the Year Award, recognizing women-led law firms that have demonstrated exceptional innovation, growth, and commitment within the legal industry.
Her excellence has also earned her a place among the New Jersey Law Journal’s “New Leaders of the Bar,” inclusion in Best Lawyers in America by U.S. News & World Report, recognition as one of South Jersey Biz’s “Women to Watch”, and “AV Preeminent®” rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest peer-review rating awarded, signifying professional excellence in legal knowledge, communication skills, and ethical standards.
Jennifer holds a B.S. in Political Science and Government from Liberty University, where she played Division I fast-pitch softball for the Lady Flames, and a J.D. from Regent University School of Law.
Outside the courtroom, Jennifer is all about balance, fun, and family. She recharges with her toes in the sand, early mornings on the pickleball court, and weekend rounds of golf with her husband, Alix. At home, nothing beats a lively game of Uno with her three boys (ages 22, 17, and 9). And for a little trivia cred—one of her most entertaining accomplishments? Becoming a world champion on the television game show Double Dare, where she and her partner broke the record for the fastest Physical Challenge.
Whether she’s in the courtroom or on the obstacle course, Jennifer brings grit, strategy, and an unmistakable spark to everything she does.
