Rorem Named Partner in Staffing Services

Blackman Kallick enhanced its Staffing Services by electing Jill Elden Rorem to Partner. Jill heads the ProjecTemps LLC legal staffing department as well as direct-hire placement of legal, administrative, and financial professionals. 

Under Jill’s leadership, ProjectTemps revenues have tripled in five years as the visibility and recognition of the firm’s contract legal staffing capabilities have expanded regionally and nationally. Jill also led Blackman’s extensive build-out of a legal review suite containing more than 50 dedicated document review stations.

Jill understands the urgency of the discovery process and the importance of matching legal expertise to the type of case. Jill’s ability to work with a variety of personalities under intense pressure, due in part to a two-year stint booking talent and recruiting staff for a major TV industry talent agency, means that she is able to put the right team in place to achieve a successful resolution to the project — on time and on budget.

Jill regularly presents to associations, law firms, and corporations on “Demystifying the Contract Attorney Process.” She also is a regular contributor to legal blogs, including Chicago Lawyer magazine’s Attorneys in Transition and Just Below the Law.
