SKILLS
ABOUT DEREK SCHULD
I feel like I have now settled into the legal field after many years in the food service industry, garnering a Member of the Year Award with my professional association and volunteering to act as co-lead with my office\'s Equity Team. When I switched careers, I had the good fortune to be part of a great little firm from 20••••19 continuing with the City of Madison. Every day is an exciting learning opportunity, from my days in the private sector working primarily in criminal defense, personal injury, and civil litigation in addition to work in financial reorganization, bankruptcy, and receivership cases to all the various areas of municipal law work that I currently do. I have recently begun to expand my notarial work and embark on voiceover acting as well.
