Taft attorney Jonathan B. Amarilio will moderate the Chicago Bar Association (CBA) Young Lawyers Series (YLS) program “Cross Selling Strategies to Grow Your Book of Business” on Dec. 15 at Taft’s Chicago office. Taft partners Ralph A. Caruso and Jonathan G. Polak will also participate on the panel.

The program is the first in a series of lunchtime sessions of the Lawyer Engagement and Development (L.E.A.D.) series developed by the YLS/CBA. It is designed to give busy attorneys at large and mid-sized firms the chance to hear prominent speakers discuss topics that will enhance their business and leadership skills. The session is free of charge to all associates at large and mid-sized firms, but registration is required. To reserve a spot, please email yls@chicaobar.org or call 312-554-2056. Lunch will be provided, and the session will offer one Illinois MCLE credit.

Amarilio is an associate in Taft’s Litigation group. He focuses his practice on civil appellate litigation. He has experience representing individuals, small businesses, state and local governments, and a number of Fortune 500 companies before state and federal appellate courts, primarily the Illinois Appellate Court, the Illinois Supreme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
