CHICAGO ― Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP Partner, Yvonne C. Ocrant, was the subject of an article entitled, “Taking the Reins.” The profile appears in the June 2008 issue of Chicago Lawyer magazine.
As indicated in the article, Ms. Ocrant’s personal involvement with horses dates back to when she was seven years-old. Today, that love of horses is translated in part through her law practice, which includes a significant concentration on equine law. Ms. Ocrant also practices in the areas of commercial litigation, employment law and title insurance.
The Chicago Lawyer profile explains that “[a]s Hinshaw’s only equine lawyer — and one of the few lawyers in Illinois who identify themselves as such — Ocrant’s clients include horse owners, breeders, boarding facilities, trainers, farriers, veterinarians, hooved-animal humane societies, non-profit therapeutic riding centers, and agricultural business insurance providers. Ms. Ocrant also explains that, “with Hinshaw having 25 offices, I can represent clients crossing state lines anywhere.”
