Heck, sometimes she just borrows her cousin's villains.
But I hope the show has Jen Legal rival Mallory Book.
"They truly were a Aqua Teen Hunger Force"Ah the issues when adapting B-list...... wait this is also a problem for even some A-listers.
Not everyone has a Spider-Man tier level of a defined supporting cast. This is something to put a lot of effort in depending on what kind of show your making.
Heh She-Hulk having a firm filled with various superhumans or nonhumans would be amusing.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I'm currently reading Sensational She-Hulk. Jen's villains are either comedic villains that appeared in other corners of the Marvel universe or original ones who never made it past a three issue arc. Even Titania, the closest thing She-Hulk has to an Arch-Enemy, only appears twice. I haven't read Jen's first comic series, but I think they did create a few original villains for her.
I wonder if Titania will get played sympathetically. Her comic counterpart has a pretty saddening backstory, that Jen seems to be highly unaware of, almost at an Unknown Rival level.
I doubt her backstory would even be the same since Secret Wars never happened in the MCU, and her other reedeming quality (her relationship with Absorbing Man) may or may not be a thing with how Absorbing Man was in Agents of Shield.
That implies Agents of shield is still Canon though....
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Let us have our goddamn blue Hydra soap!
In all seriousness though, having Creel in the series just feels... eh. Can't really put it in words, but I don't see it happening. But hey, the Abomination's coming back! Maybe they'll have him take on that role?

The Hydra soap commercial is based on a real one. (Sorry, it won't let me embed it.)
DAMN YOUUUUUUUUU!
In all seriousness: well, shoot. Where'd I leave my denial?
I think the She-Hulk villains that work best for her are Titania and Absorbing Man (who are a cool couple). I'd go with them.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I'd be down for them to remake Absorbing Man, with him and Titania being a cool, madcap villain couple.
Legit villain couples are so rare in movies and tv, especially ones that don't just base themselves around Evil Is Sexy.
Either way, since She Hulk is going to be a comedy, my guess is the main villain is going to be a Knight of Cerebus but all the other villains are going to be of the fun kind, largely sympathetic or at least personable to the point where it'll be difficult not to want to root for them sometimes.
I want a gag where Jennifer has to represent Titania, but then Titania breaks out and fights She Hulk, meaning Jennifer now as a conflict of interest and Titania now has to make due with a much crappier state appointed lawyer. Bonus points if Titania intentionally does it to get Jennifer fired, only to realize later it was a bad idea.
"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.There's a pretty funny She-Hulk and Titania story in Solo Avengers #14. She-Hulk is arguing a case against the Mutant Registration Act in the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, her speech keeps getting interrupted by Titania attacking the courthouse and eventually the judges leave, having run out of patience. A dejected She-Hulk is on her way out when she is attacked by Titania yet again. She-Hulk then shows Titania that one thing she and her cousin have in common is how ferocious their tempers can be and proceeds to give the villain such a vicious No-Holds-Barred Beatdown that she is cowed into giving up. The officer escorting Titania even tells her that if she is smart, she'll never want a rematch with She-Hulk.
Given Titania continued to bedevil She-Hulk, she clearly wasn't very smart.
That sounds like a pretty funny comedy skit. I'm giggling just imagining it.
The Final NameAt one point on Slott’s run, Titania asked Jen to be her lawyer... after she tore up several blocks trying to smash Jen into a smear on the pavement.
Obviously, Jen immediately hung up their call.
When you know a lawyer but its your nemesis.
Huh they could bring in female Beetle since she's an evil lawyer.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Man, now I'm more excited for the She-Hulk series.
The Final NameEven better, that was Titania’s One Phone Call.
And to think it all started with Falcon not moving his seat up.
Man, Sam just enjoys screwing with Bucky way too much.

One Strip! One Strip!It's gonna be pretty funny seeing the bromance between Sam and Bucky and then Zemo just goes about screaming "MY FAMILY IS DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAD" in a purple mask.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I'm definitely getting some Vitriolic Best Buds vibes from those two. Probably at first they legitimately DON'T get along but by the end they're.... Well they still drive each other nuts but deep down they are bros.
"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."Its hilarious how this is essentially Cap's best bros getting their own show.
Also man does Falcon's suit look dope.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."On one hand, looks like Zemo is still going to be a petty bitch even though the Avengers saved the world. Goddamn it, Zemo.
On the other hand, holy fucking shit he has the mask let's go!!!!
Yeah, keeping a consistent supporting cast is something that Jen has had issues with. The same for the Rogues' Gallery as well. Her biggest name enemy is probably Titania and she's pretty C-list at best.
Which to be fair makes focussing on the legal antics side a pretty good decision.
