Honoring Jennifer Gayle’s Contributions as Chair of the Probate and Trust Law Section of the Philadelphia Bar Association

As a new year begins, we would like to honor Partner Jennifer Gayle’s contributions in 2025 as Chair of the Probate and Trust Law Section of the Philadelphia Bar Association. Since becoming a lawyer in 2007, Jenn has dedicated a significant portion of her time each year in service and leadership roles such as this one. The firm has strongly supported and encouraged Jenn – and our other attorneys – to volunteer and to engage and we are proud of her accomplishments.  Jenn used her time as Chair well, advancing the interests of the Probate Section and the communities that it serves, engaging with diverse peoples and practice groups to support the mission of the Philadelphia Bar Association and the Section, and overseeing the presentation of numerous CLEs, as well as pro bono, community service and networking events.

Chief among Jenn’s achievements as Chair was her service as a member of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Commission on Judicial Selection and Retention, a non-partisan commission which evaluates judicial candidates based upon legal ability, experience, temperament, administrative ability, integrity and devotion to the improvement of the quality of justice.  While this was the most time-consuming of her responsibilities, it was the most rewarding for her.

When asked about the experience, Jenn recently shared, “I continue to be committed to the success of the Probate Section and am proud that it is thriving. Our finances are solid, our leadership is qualified and committed, and our membership is strong. I look forward to seeing the Section continue to grow and to inspire engagement, and I renew my request to our members to join a committee, to attend our events and CLEs, and apply their unique experiences and expertise to make a meaningful impact on the Section and our community.”

Congratulations on a wonderful year as Chair, Jenn!
