š How I Lawyer #106: Dan Cotter - Chicago Business and Privacy Lawyer
+ Former In-House Counsel, Bar Leader, Author, and Podcaster
š Welcome back!
In todayās episode I am excited to speak with Dan Cotter. Dan is currently an attorney at Howard & Howard in Chicago where he represents businesses at many different stages in corporate and transactional matters. He has a particular emphasis on privacy and cybersecurity law. But over the course of his 25-plus years as a lawyer, Dan has had a varied and in his words "eclectic" practice having practiced in different areas and different settings including but not limited to litigation, in-house counsel, outside general counsel, and working on behalf of both for profit and non-profit entities.Ā
More than that, Dan has been active in the legal community including doing pro bono work and serving as a past president of the Chicago Bar (and a current Mediator for that group). He also hosts a podcast calledĀ Podium and PanelĀ and he is a prolific writer, writing a regular column called Cotterās Corner for the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin and a book titled theĀ Chief Justices: The Seventeen Men of the Center Seat, Their Courts, and Their Times.Ā
Dan is a graduate of the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law (Go Dragons) where he was a night student but still was an editor on the law review graduated number 1 in his class and Monmouth College where he played football and was a radio DJ among other accolades (Go Fighting Scots). Heās a longtime supporter of How I Lawyer and I am excited to get the chance to share his story.
