As the Former Director of the pro bono program at the international law firm Cleary Gottlieb, Jennifer Kroman regularly represented individuals who were subjected to gender-based violence, including sex trafficking. In 2014, she was honored by the New York Law Journal as a “Lawyer Who Leads By Example” for this work. Ms. Kroman has spoken frequently on the interwoven legal needs of trafficking survivors.
“With every client, I learn to listen better and think harder about the complex needs of those living in the throes and aftermath of trafficking. As a society, we can — and we must — do better for these courageous individuals, even as we work together to eradicate human trafficking once and for all.”
