Lin Hanson Lectures on Practice Skills

August 1, 2005 -- In what has become a fall tradition, Lin Hanson will join George Marifian, a business attorney from Belleville, Illinois, to teach the business portion of the Illinois State Bar Association's annual practice skills course at Bar Headquarters on Wednesday, August 31^st. The two have taught this course for a number of years. They will deal with issues of entity selection, (corporation? LLC? Partnership?) governing agreements, new case law and new legislation. Both Lin and George have served on the Secretary of State's Business Laws Advisory Committee, and helped draft this year's new business legislation. Their friendship extends back to other teaching experiences, both in Chicago, and at Southern Illinois University's Edwardsville campus. Di Monte and Lizak, LLC and Mathis, Marifian Richter & Grandy, Ltd. have acted as co-counsel in business litigation too.
