Lorna made an indelible impact in her 31 years at Schuler Shook, guiding the voice, culture, and organization of our firm. First hired as an administrative assistant for our Chicago office in 1993, Lorna immediately became an integral part of the company, always ready to jump in wherever support was needed with a reassuring and patient presence.
Often regarded as wearing many hats, Lorna did it all; developing organizational methods, building business development strategies, and leading our Marketing and Administration departments. She even helped focus lights once or twice, which she would recount as some of her favorite memories at Schuler Shook.
While Lorna retired in 2025, her impact is still evident every single day. She was a leader, a mentor, and, most of all, a friend. We will all remember her fierce commitment to excellence, her sharp wit, and her kind spirit. We will also remember her devotion to family as well as her advocacy within her community and for the environment.
We are grateful for the years we had with Lorna. She was one of us, and she always will be a part of who we are.
