About Judy J
Judy J Chang earned her LL.B. from the University of Toronto in 1997 after completing her studies in the mid-1990s. She pursued legal training in a period when cross-border practice was expanding, and her academic background reflects a common law education grounded in a Canadian law school. That foundation preceded a move into U.S. practice and admission in multiple jurisdictions.
Her early professional steps included a position as an associate at Hodgson Russ LLP in 2005. That role gave her experience in a firm environment and exposure to the wide range of matters handled by a regional practice. The following year she took on a leadership role, becoming Managing Lawyer at J Global Law Group in 2006. The move marked a transition from associate work toward management and client-facing responsibility.
Chang is admitted to practice in both California and New York. Dual admission has shaped the kinds of matters she handles and the clients she serves. It has also required navigating two distinct sets of procedural rules and professional requirements. She holds current membership in professional associations relevant to her practice, reflecting ongoing participation in the bar and legal community.
Her work history suggests a lawyer comfortable in both firm and managerial settings. At Hodgson Russ she worked as part of an associate cohort; at J Global Law Group she moved into an overseeing role. Those roles point to experience handling client matters, supervising work, and coordinating between offices. She has maintained a presence in the Northeastern United States while holding qualification for practice on the West Coast as well.
Chang maintains offices in New York and New Jersey and is also associated with an office listed at 1250 Oakmead Parkway. The geographic spread aligns with her licensure and indicates a practice that spans state lines. Colleagues and clients can expect a practitioner who understands the administrative and practical demands of managing legal work across multiple offices.
Her career path, from Canadian legal education to U.S. admissions and firm leadership, illustrates a trajectory shaped by mobility and managerial responsibility. She continues her practice at J Global Law Group, handling matters across New York and New Jersey.
