WEST CHESTER, PA — Unruh Turner Burke & Frees has elevated three attorneys to shareholder, a move the firm says reflects its deepening bench of leadership and long-term commitment to client service and growth.
Amanda J. Sundquist, Kristen Wetzel Ladd, and Ryan M. Jennings were promoted effective January 1, 2026, marking a significant milestone in their careers and in the firm’s strategic development.
Firm leadership said the promotions recognize the attorneys’ demonstrated expertise, dedication, and alignment with the firm’s values. John K. Fiorillo said each has played a critical role in serving clients while contributing to the firm’s culture and future direction.
Sundquist’s practice centers on education and municipal law, as well as land use and zoning. She advises school districts, municipalities, and authorities on policy development, personnel and student matters, public records compliance, and contracting, while also guiding private developers and property owners through zoning and development approvals. Her work bridges public and private interests, giving her a broad perspective on regulatory and operational challenges.
Wetzel Ladd focuses on creditors’ rights and remedies, representing institutional lenders in collections, asset recovery, loan workouts, foreclosures, bankruptcies, and related litigation in both state and federal courts. The firm said she has recovered tens of millions of dollars for clients and is known for delivering efficient, results-driven solutions while safeguarding client assets.
Jennings practices in the firm’s Zoning & Land Use and Municipal departments, representing private, corporate, and municipal clients in regulatory, governmental, and litigation matters. He regularly appears before courts and municipal bodies and is recognized for strategic advocacy and practical counsel on complex issues affecting development projects and public entities.
The shareholder promotions underscore Unruh Turner Burke & Frees’ emphasis on developing internal talent and positioning experienced attorneys to help guide the firm’s continued growth in southeastern Pennsylvania.
