Six Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Business alumni are being hailed among the best lawyers in the Metro East. The counselors were voted upon by their peers through a survey conducted by Leading Lawyers. The distinction is held by fewer than five percent of lawyers licensed in Illinois.
SIUE alumni on the list include:
- Edward Blake, MBA 1977
- Mary Lopinot, bachelor’s in accountancy, 1995
- Kevin Richter, bachelor’s in finance, 1980
- Kurt Schroeder, bachelor’s in accountancy, 1980, MBA 1981
- Kevin Stine, bachelor’s in marketing, 1980
- Gary True, bachelor’s in accountancy, 1975, MBA 1981
“We are extremely pleased to see our alumni on such a distinguished list,” said John Navin, PhD, dean of the SIUE School of Business. “It’s a testament to the strong foundation of skills provided in our School that translate well to many areas, even those outside of business.”
Also making the list of top lawyers were Gregory Coffey, legal counsel for the SIUE Foundation, and Mark Weinheimer, a member of the School of Business Advisory Board.
The complete list of leading lawyers is posted in the Illinois Business Journal.
