GET TO KNOW HANNA

Hanna Hasl-Kelchner is a leading business and legal authority who has helped thousands of business managers, executives, and entrepreneurs understand how to use the law as a strategic business tool, both defensively and offensively.  She has accomplished this through content-rich presentations, teaching, coaching, commentaries, and publications. 

She is the author of The Business Guide to Legal Literacy: What Every Manager Should Know About the Law (Jossey-Bass, 2006), a ground breaking book based on her nearly 30 years of forward thinking business and legal experience.  Performance driven companies and business leaders use this resource as a roadmap to keep from turning into a litigator’s chew toy, to enhance growth, and to create stronger competitive advantage.

Ms Hasl-Kelchner is also the executive producer and host of the Ask the No Nonsense Lawyer show, featuring top world thought leaders such as John Kador, best-selling author of Effective Apology, Super Lawyer Elise Bloom from the law firm of Proskauer Rose, and other best in class attorneys from firms such as Dickinson Wright, The Pamir Law Group, and Sonnenschein Nath, among others.

She grew up in an entrepreneurial family where business was discussed morning, noon, and night and later ran her own successful business.  As a result Hanna understands business and legal issues from both sides of the table.  She gets it and can keep it real.

She has parlayed that experience into teaching materials she used at two top ranked MBA programs: the Duke University Fuqua School of Business (in the U.S. and Europe) and at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, Virginia. 

Her formal education includes an undergraduate degree from Duke University, an MBA from Cornell University’s Johnson School of Business, and a law degree from the Rutgers University School of Law – Camden.  Her legal career has spanned private, in-house and government practice, including service at the U.S. International Trade Commission where one of her cases was decided by President Ronald Reagan.  She is also a member of good standing of the New Jersey bar and the District of Columbia bar, admitted to numerous federal courts and the U.S. Court of International Trade.

Her experience and insights are sought by business leaders as well as top journalists.  She provides clear legal insight to enhance business performance.
