Kelly E. Eisenlohr-Moul

Kelly Elisabeth Eisenlohr-Moul is a principal in the Chicago, Illinois, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. Kelly is a strategic employment litigator and advisor who is frequently called upon to counsel C-suite executives, boards, and general counsel in high-stakes disputes and sensitive internal matters.

With nearly two decades of experience defending Fortune 500 and national employers, Kelly focuses on complex employment litigation involving executive-level disputes, restrictive covenant and trade secret matters, multi-plaintiff and class claims, and high-exposure discrimination and retaliation cases. She is often brought in when matters involve board visibility, reputational risk, parallel proceedings, or internal dynamics requiring careful strategic calibration.

Kelly is frequently engaged when companies face complex internal or executive disputes requiring both legal precision and executive judgment — including matters involving senior leadership transitions, governance tensions, internal investigations, or strategic workforce realignment. In these situations, Kelly partners directly with decision-makers to assess leverage, anticipate second-order consequences, and design litigation and resolution strategies aligned with long-term business objectives.

Kelly is known for translating litigation risk into clear, business-aligned strategy. She works seamlessly with senior leadership to evaluate exposure, manage ambiguity, and chart forward-looking solutions under pressure. Her experience spans a broad range of industries, including health sciences, biotechnology, hospitality, manufacturing, logistics, and national service platforms, giving her a distinctive cross-sector perspective on workforce risk and operational realities.

In addition to litigation, Kelly advises employers on executive compensation disputes, separation strategy, and sensitive conflict resolution matters. She integrates advanced negotiation frameworks into her advocacy and client counseling and is a trained mediator.

She is licensed in multiple jurisdictions and regularly manages multi-jurisdictional matters nationwide.
