MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Candice Cornelius
Stout
Candice Cornelius, a Director in the Disputes, Compliance, & Investigations group of Stout's intellectual property practice has had a natural, yet unique, progression into the field of intellectual property. While at the University of Illinois, Candice took a class that focused on the intersection between business and law, which she loved but was unsure whether the material would transfer into the working world with her finance-focused degree.
