Lindsey Markus is doing well in her second career. She was recently promoted from associate to principal at her law firm, Chuhak & Tecson, in Chicago. She had been working in domestic and international finance when she noticed something that would end up sending her in a different career direction: “I recognized that at every critical juncture a lawyer was involved.” She completed a law degree at Loyola University and now focuses on corporate and business law, estate planning and trust administration.
