Ann Schildhammer<\/h2>\n

Lawyer. Executive. Trusted Advisor.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TT – Home – Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_orientation_tablet=”center” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]Ann Schildhammer brings a distinctive perspective to the practice of law developed through decades of experience advising businesses and serving in senior legal and executive leadership positions.<\/p>\n

Her experience includes serving as General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer and in other executive leadership roles, where her responsibilities extended well beyond traditional legal matters.<\/p>\n

Throughout her career, Ann has advised businesses, executives and management teams regarding employment law, human resources, contracts, litigation, risk management, insurance, business operations and complex workplace matters.
\nThat experience shapes the way she practices law today.<\/p>\n

Having sat alongside executives making difficult decisions, Ann understands that clients rarely need a lengthy explanation of every possible legal issue. They need a lawyer who can identify what matters, explain the risk clearly and recommend a practical path forward.<\/p>\n

Schildhammer Legal was founded to provide that kind of counsel.<\/p>\n

A Different Perspective<\/h3>\n

Ann’s experience as both a lawyer and business executive allows her to evaluate issues through more than one lens.<\/p>\n

What is the legal risk?
\nWhat makes sense for the business?
\nWhat are the practical consequences?
\nAnd what is the best way forward?<\/p>\n

Her approach is collaborative, responsive and pragmatic, with an emphasis on developing long-term relationships and becoming a trusted advisor to the clients she serves.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″
