Stephanie J. Gulizia joined Lawrence Kamin in September 2008, adding eight years of broad corporate and securities legal experience to the firm’s Business and Corporations practice area. Stephanie works with for-profit and non-profit businesses of all sizes, and counsels them on all matters from formation and capital raising to acquisitions and financing. She also has extensive experience with financial services industry clients, including broker-dealers, investment advisers, and pooled-investment vehicles.
Stephanie believes in developing a strong understanding of each client’s business needs and objectives in addition to its legal needs and objectives. She enjoys seeing where the “magic happens” for the client, and pursues opportunities to experience a client“s business first-hand. These site visits have taken her from securities trading desks to aftermarket auto parts manufacturing facilities and many points in between.
Stephanie has long been involved in national securities organizations such as the National Society of Compliance Professionals and the legal and compliance division of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, and is enthusiastically pursuing speaking and writing opportunities with Chicago-area organizations serving small and mid-sized privately held businesses.
Stephanie makes her home in Lake Forest, Illinois with her husband Nick, children Eva, Lily and Archer, as well as dogs Tony and Amanda. They enjoy spending time at Chicagoland museums, libraries, parks and festivals, and make frequent trips to west Michigan and Nebraska to visit family.
