Michael McKitrick Elected to Executive Committee and Daniel Tobben Named Head of Litigation

LAW FIRM DANNA MCKITRICK ANNOUNCES LEADERSHIP CHANGES

St. Louis, MO – Michael J. McKitrick is elected to the executive committee of law firm Danna McKitrick for a three-year term, effective January, 2009. McKitrick takes the position vacated by principal Daniel G. Tobben as Tobben assumes the litigation department chair role previously held by McKitrick.

McKitrick joins the executive committee, which reports to the board of directors, just as the firm is undertaking a move into a larger office space in the Pierre Laclede Center. The executive committee comprises three principals who rotate to serve staggered terms. McKitrick is no stranger to the firm’s leadership; he held an executive committee position from 1999-2001 and chaired the litigation department for the better part of his career at Danna McKitrick.

With over 30 years of litigation and transactional experience in commercial, real estate, and bankruptcy matters, McKitrick earned his J.D., with distinction, from University of Iowa College of Law, and his B.A., with distinction, from Northern Illinois University.

Tobben, a principal with Danna McKitrick since 2001, maintains his seat on the firm’s strategic planning committee as he also assumes the administrative responsibilities inherent in his new role chairing the firm’s litigation department.

Tobben, also a seasoned litigator, practices in legal malpractice defense, public pension and other government litigation, civil and commercial litigation, and insurance law. Tobben earned his J.D., cum laude, from Saint Louis University School of Law, and his A.B., cum laude, from Rockhurst College.
