Joelle Pankratz

Counsel · Expand

Joelle drafts and reviews the contracts growing companies sign every week, and runs the monthly counsel plan.

Joelle was in-house counsel at a software company in the Strip District before joining the firm, so she has been the client calling outside lawyers and waiting on their bills.

She leads the Expand stage, and she is the lawyer most plan clients talk to every month.

Joelle away from the firm

Joelle keeps a running list of the worst contract clauses she has read, with the names removed, and reads from it at the firm's holiday party.

She lives in Lawrenceville and is slowly restoring a row house on 44th Street.
