About Darren
Darren Heyman trained first as a lawyer and later returned to school for business. He earned a J.D. from Northwestern University School of Law, completing the degree in 1999 after beginning studies in 1996. A decade later he added an MBA from the University of Cambridge, listed as completed in 2009 following enrollment in 2008. Those two qualifications frame a career that crosses legal practice and commercial advisory work.
Heyman’s early legal work included a role at Lovells in 1998, where he worked as a lawyer during the period immediately surrounding his law studies. The record then shows a shift into leadership and consultancy. In 2011 he is listed as a managing shareholder at Panacea Consulting Group. Three years after that he took on the title of managing shareholder at Heyman Law Group, a role recorded from 2014 onward. An unusual entry in the timeline is an internship at Lewis Roca Rothgerber in 2016; the entry is recorded as an interning lawyer position.
He is licensed to practice in Illinois. He also holds a notary public commission issued by the Nevada Secretary of State. Those credentials support work that crosses state lines and involves both formal legal filings and transactional paperwork.
Throughout his career he has balanced transactional and advisory work. His academic background in international law at Northwestern and international business at Cambridge suggests comfort with cross-border matters and commercial arrangements. On the practice side, his leadership positions point to responsibilities that include client counseling, deal structuring and firm management. The consulting role at Panacea indicates experience advising businesses beyond traditional courtroom practice.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with him describe a practitioner who moves between detailed legal analysis and business-level thinking. His path is not purely linear: he returned to study after initial legal practice, later led consulting efforts and then moved into firm leadership. The internship noted in 2016 sits alongside those senior positions, an unconventional chronological detail that he has carried through a varied professional life.
He currently practices at Heyman Law Group, handling international business matters and corporate transactions.
