Meet Jillian Roman

I bring fifteen years of collaborative editing and writing experience to Roman Editorial. I began my legal career as a law clerk to the Honorable Carol E. Higbee of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County, a talented jurist who presided over incredibly accomplished litigators. I often served as an editor for the Judge, working to apply her distinct perspective and style.
As a trial attorney, I continued to develop as an editor while regularly partnering with experts in the fields of finance, construction, insurance, engineering, hospital administration, and medical device design, among others. I worked hand-in-hand with doctors from all disciplines, from orthopedic surgeons to family medicine practitioners, to ensure their reports and recommendations were persuasive, fact-based, and unimpeachable. I regularly collaborated with organizations on complex briefs and memoranda, including public pension and union funds seeking to recover losses in securities and shareholder litigation.
As a member of a law firm, I also helped run a small business. I wrote and edited blogs and marketing materials that served as components of critical advertising campaigns. I edited staff policy manuals and employment materials while serving as human resources director. I worked through the night to edit complex appellate briefs with multiple authors that sought to defend multimillion-dollar jury verdicts.
At Roman Editorial, I have the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, including vocational experts, legal nurse consultants, neurologists, psychologists, and orthopedic surgeons preparing reports for litigation; attorneys preparing treatises and journal submissions in their unique areas of law; and specialists in a range of complex fields requiring assistance with white papers and B2B materials.
I know there is never enough time to focus on the details. I also know the details matter—to you, to your clients, and to your organization.
I work to refine your content and eliminate the barriers that prevent you from successfully completing your project, meeting your goals, or achieving your mission—your ideas, illuminated.
