Jessica Heiser (she/her) is the Founder of Imprint Legal Group. After graduating with honors from Northwestern University, Jessica taught middle and high school students in Los Angeles and St. Louis, ran a private-public partnership to raise graduation rates in Indianapolis-area high schools, and earned a J.D. from DePaul University College of Law, where she received a Benjamin Hooks Distinguished Public Service Award.

Drawing on her experience as a teacher and work at Legal Aid Chicago, Centro Romero, and the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Jessica sought a career practicing education law, representing public and private K-12 school districts, colleges, and universities across the country in the largest school law team in Indiana.

As Jessica became more interested in proactive solutions instead of reactive litigation, she went back to school at night to study change management and inclusive organizational practices. She eventually decided to leave private partnership in a traditional law firm to explore how inclusive organizational cultures could serve as long-term risk management.

A dynamic public speaker, Jessica is particularly sought for her expertise in sexual harassment, disability and special education, disruptive leadership, racial issues, and Title IX and LGBTQIA+ issues. She is licensed to practice law in Minnesota, Indiana, and Illinois.
