Janice Rodgers

Janice E Rodgers retired from Quarles and Brady in the fall of 2018, remaining active in her role consulting with non-profit organizations. Rodgers received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois (with highest honors) and her law degree from the Harvard Law School (cum laude). Upon graduation in 1976, she took a job at Sidley & Austin in Chicago, joining the estate planning department. Sidley was not able to provide Janice with all that she requested for maternity leave, so she resigned. After teaching part-time at Loyola Law School, in 1983 Rodgers joined a smaller law firm that eventually became the Chicago office of Quarles & Brady LLP. She played a pivotal role in securing the firm’s reputation as a national leader in the practice of Tax-Exempt Organizations.
