NTBA Welcomes New Board Member: Lilly McGuire

Join us in extending a warm welcome to our newest board member! With a wealth of experience and fresh perspectives, Lilly McGuire brings invaluable insights to our team. We’re excited to embark on this journey together, working collaboratively to drive our organization forward and achieve our shared goals. 

Lilly McGuire joins the Board after having been an NTBA member since 2022. She is currently an associate in the Chicago office of Jenner & Block LLP, where she litigates antitrust, consumer class action, and breach of contract matters. Her active pro bono practice includes representing transgender adolescents in a constitutional challenge to Oklahoma’s gender-affirming care ban at both the federal district court and appellate levels. She also represents trans youth in Kentucky in their petition for certiorari from the Sixth Circuit’s decision in L.W. v. Skrmetti, and works with a Jenner team filing humanitarian parole applications for residents of occupied Palestine.

Lilly received her bachelor’s degree from Marquette University in 2018, and her J.D. from Harvard in 2021. She was an editor on the Harvard Law Review, in which she published the first law review article to analyze state legislation restricting gender affirming care for minors. She clerked for the Honorable John Z. Lee of the Northern District of Illinois (now on the Seventh Circuit) from 2021-2022. In her free time, Lilly is a member of an LGBTQ+ country western dancing group, cycles around Chicago, and ruthlessly DMs a Dungeons and Dragons game for her friends.
