Jennifer J. El-Kadi

JEK Law
Jennifer El-Kadi

is a litigation attorney and founder of JEK Law, where she advocates for survivors of sex abuse and human trafficking, as well as individuals injured in motor vehicle accidents. Her practice is rooted in the belief that those who have been silenced or harmed deserve fierce, trauma-informed legal representation-and she brings both compassion and precision to every case she handles. Ms. El-Kadi has built her career fighting for plaintiffs who cannot fight for themselves. She previously served as Partner and Chief Operating Officer at Babin Law, where she led the firm's Human Trafficking Department and helped file the first civil TVPRA lawsuit in the country. Under her leadership, the docket expanded from 100 to more than 2,100 active cases. She helped coordinate national litigation strategy across jurisdictions after the denial of MDL centralization, spearheading complex multi-defendant actions against corporate enablers and contributing to early case law development under the TVPRA and CAVRA. In addition to her leadership in sex abuse litigation, Ms. El-Kadi provides high-quality co-counsel support to firms nationwide-stepping in on an overflow or project basis to draft complaints, discovery, and motions, and guide litigation strategy in high-stakes cases. Her background spans personal injury, mass torts, and trauma-informed justice alternatives. As COO at Babin Law, she scaled national dockets involving Uber, Lyft, NEC, Hernia Mesh, CPAP, Hair Relaxer, and Valsartan, optimizing intake workflows and CRM systems. She also clerked under Judge Zottola in Pennsylvania's Veterans Court, where she supported diversion programs for justice-involved veterans facing service-related trauma.
