Maryville Academy, a well-known institution dedicated to protecting children and strengthening families in Illinois, will honor Real Estate Of Counsel Jack George for his tireless advocacy to help Maryville meet new neighbors and comply with the zoning regulations to open three homes and a school to benefit its children.

Having served as a former Assistant Attorney General for the State of Illinois and Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Chicago, George is a valued leader who possesses a deep knowledge of real estate law. He focuses his practice on real estate, land use, and zoning matters. He is instrumental in shaping the Chicago skyline, and has worked on numerous notable development projects consisting of complex elements such as zoning map amendments, planned development applications, and condemnation matters. George is also adept at navigating city and state laws, and routinely litigates before state and federal courts, as well as in proceedings before administrative tribunals and arbitrations.

George was honored during Maryville's 140th Anniversary Dinner on April 11.
