I am Charlie Brissman, based in the Greater Chicago Area, where I have dedicated my career to supporting small businesses and not-for-profits. With over 30 years of legal experience, I founded my own law office in 2018, after serving as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer for Delta Career Education Corporation. My previous roles include Vice President and General Counsel at Oil-Dri Corporation and Chief Counsel at Heller Financial, where I honed my skills in corporate governance and compliance. I hold a J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law and a B.A. in History from the University of Virginia. My extensive background equips me to navigate complex legal landscapes effectively.
