Prior to attending law school, Lori was the Real Estate Manager (reporting directly to the Vice President) for a convenience store chain with approximately 1,000 stores located throughout seven Midwestern states. In her role as Real Estate Manager, she managed the real estate portfolio, worked with the development team on new store development and subsequently played a key role in the company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy and sale under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Lori’s clients find her business experience particularly useful when evaluating legal issues from a management and operational perspective.
