icon on Chicago, IL, October 13, 2025 – Howard & Howard is pleased to announce that Andrew Girard has joined the firm, bringing more than two decades of experience advising businesses, condominium and homeowners’ associations, and nonprofit organizations on governance, compliance, collections, and dispute resolution.
Girard, who founded and served as Managing Shareholder of The Girard Law Group, P.C., has represented hundreds of clients across Illinois and Colorado. His work spans complex litigation, appellate advocacy, and long-term client advisory services. He has built a reputation for combining deep legal knowledge with practical, results-driven strategies that help organizations achieve stability and growth.
“Our clients value practical advice – they want lawyers who help them to accomplish their objectives, not lawyers who tell them why something can’t be done,” said Jon Kreucher, President and CEO of Howard & Howard. “Andrew’s background in business law, coupled with his litigation experience, his board-level nonprofit leadership, and the fact that he ran his own business, all give Andrew the context to deliver the type of advice that our clients look for.”
Beyond his legal practice, Girard serves as a Board Member for Foundation Enfant Jeunesse (FEJ-USA), a nonprofit supporting educational, healthcare, and community development programs in Haiti. His service reflects his commitment to using his skills to positively impact both clients and communities.
Girard earned his JD from John Marshall Law School and a BS in Finance from Michigan State University.
