Renée Coover

As a dynamic and results-driven attorney, I have extensive experience in risk management, regulatory compliance, and employment law. As a strategic executive leader, I have successfully advised boards, C-suite executives, and business owners across various industries, guiding them through complex legal landscapes and helping them navigate employment issues, contract disputes, and litigation matters. A former litigator in high-stakes federal employment cases, I have a proven track record of securing successful outcomes in some of the most challenging and high-profile disputes, including claims involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and breach of contract. My litigation experience has honed my ability to develop effective strategies for resolving complex legal issues and protecting my clients' interests in contentious situations. As a former General Counsel of a multi-million-dollar startup, I possess a high level of expertise in collaborating with executive teams to formulate strategic business decisions, manage legal risks, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Recognized for my thought leadership, I have delivered numerous presentations at national conferences, providing insights into regulatory compliance, employee relations, and emerging employment trends.

I earned my JD from DePaul University College of Law and a BA in Psychology and Vocal Performance from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I was admitted to the Illinois State Bar and the Michigan State Bar, as well as the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. I have also earned recognition as an Illinois Super Lawyer, being named a Rising Star from 2015 to 2022 and a SuperLawyer in 2023.
