About Shahzad R
Shahzad R Khan holds a law degree from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas at Arlington. His legal education combined a Midwestern law program with an undergraduate foundation from a large Texas research university. The two schools reflect the bi-state character of his career and the geographical scope of his professional ties.
After completing his J.D., Khan took the steps necessary to practice in more than one jurisdiction. He is admitted to the bars of Illinois and Texas. He also holds memberships in the State Bar of Texas, the Illinois State Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association. Those memberships place him among peers who practice in both urban and regional legal markets in the Midwest and the South.
Khan's career has unfolded across those two states. Working within Illinois and Texas law environments has required familiarity with differing court rules, local procedures and bar standards. He has maintained an active presence in professional circles that shape practice in both jurisdictions. Participation in bar activities and local associations has allowed him to stay current on changes in law and procedure that affect lawyers practicing in Chicago and throughout Texas.
Colleagues describe Khan as a lawyer who manages the practical demands of multi-jurisdictional practice. He has navigated licensing requirements in two state bars and the professional expectations that come with them. That background informs how he addresses client matters that cross state lines or touch on state-specific regulations. His training at Cooley and his undergraduate years in Texas provide the academic foundation that supports that work.
Khan practices law in Illinois and Texas and continues to build experience tied to those jurisdictions. He maintains memberships in the professional organizations that serve lawyers in both states and in the city where he practices. His current practice focuses on representation of clients in matters arising under Illinois and Texas law.
