CCHA Law welcomes two new attorneys

Church Church Hittle and Antrim (CCHA Law) announces the addition of two new exceptional attorneys, Jane McGill and Olivia Burpo, to its team.

Jane McGill expands role in Sports Law and Higher Education Practice Groups

Jane McGill recently gained admission to the Indiana Bar. Already licensed in Virginia, the additional admission will allow her to provide even more value to CCHA’s Sports Law and Higher Education clients, complementing her extensive experience and specialized knowledge. Having served as an NCAA Compliance Specialist at CCHA Law since 2019, she will continue to focus on a variety of sports law and higher education issues, including NCAA regulatory matters and litigation, Title IX investigations, and allegations related to hazing or misconduct.

McGill previously worked as an associate director in the NCAA Eligibility Center, where she specialized in academic reviews and complex pre-enrollment eligibility matters. As part of the academic review team, she consulted with NCAA member institutions and counsel, guiding them through the initial-eligibility waiver process from submission to appeal.

“Jane’s NCAA compliance expertise and her experience on campuses as a coach bring valuable insight to our Sports Law and Higher Education practice groups,” CCHA Sports Law section chair Kelleigh Fagan said. “We are excited Jane pursued licensure in Indiana and look forward to the enhanced impact she will make for our clients.”

McGill began her career with the NCAA as a postgraduate intern in Enforcement, supporting investigations into secondary and major infractions. Before her time with the NCAA, she spent two years as an assistant field hockey coach at Division III Washington and Lee University, gaining valuable campus experience.

McGill earned her juris doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law and clerked for law firms in Washington, D.C., and Charleston, S.C. She graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English from Washington and Lee University, where she was a four-year student-athlete and senior captain of the field hockey team.

McGill is admitted to the bars of Virginia and Indiana and is an active member of Women Leaders in Sports. She also serves on the Board of Directors for the PCDH19 Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting those diagnosed with PCDH19, a rare seizure disorder. Originally from Virginia, she now lives in Carmel with her husband and two children.

Olivia Burpo joins Litigation Practice Group

CCHA also welcomes Olivia Burpo, who joins the Litigation practice group. She represents schools, cities, towns, and other public entities in a broad range of claims at the state and federal levels, including negligence cases and complex constitutional law matters.

“We are pleased to have Olivia as part of our Litigation team,” Managing Partner Alex Pinegar said. “Her strong litigation skills and passion for representing public entities have already made her a key contributor to our firm. We look forward to seeing Olivia continue to thrive.”

Burpo earned her juris doctor from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, where she excelled in Moot Court, earning top oral advocate honors and serving as Chief Justice of the Moot Court Board. She also interned with the Indiana Supreme Court in the chambers of Justice Derek R. Molter. Active in the Indianapolis community, she enjoys playing tennis with her fiancé, Jeff, and attending performances with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s “Forte” group for young professionals.
