Windy A Hillman

Windy Hillman serves as Executive Director and Assistant General Counsel at JPMorgan Chase, helping shape litigation strategy for a national lending platform of significant scale. Her work addresses matters with both financial and reputational consequences, while also evaluating the broader legal frameworks—from Supreme Court jurisprudence to executive authority—that shape how banks operate in a shifting regulatory environment. Her approach to litigation was formed early in her career in Alabama and Georgia courtrooms, where she tried more than 300 cases and managed high-volume portfolios for national lenders. That hands-on experience built the discipline and judgment that later carried her through an Am Law 100 practice into a law firm partnership, where she led a nationwide arbitration program and represented major financial institutions in complex commercial and bankruptcy disputes, developing a reputation as a steady, strategic advocate in high-profile matters. Since joining JPMorgan Chase, Hillman’s focus has expanded from individual case strategy to institutional portfolio leadership. She has played a role in the disciplined reduction of post-financial-crisis mortgage litigation, while contributing to internal discussions on fair lending, federal preemption, emerging legal risks, and structural regulatory developments affecting national banking operations. Her work often sits at the intersection of litigation, policy interpretation, and forward-looking risk assessment.
