LCLD's landmark program is an intensive, yearlong professional development program that mentors the legal industry’s diverse leaders of tomorrow.

She also represents companies in conducting internal investigations in high-stakes matters involving issues such as securities and public corruption. Her complex business litigation experience includes matters involving fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, antitrust, and unfair competition. Janice serves in leadership roles with the ABA White Collar Crime Division and as a member of the board of directors for the Filipino Bar Association of Northern California. She is recognized among The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch in Commercial Litigation and Criminal Defense: White-Collar (2021-2022).
