Our Latest Featured Speaker is Mona Naser!
Our latest Featured Speaker is Mona Naser of Carlson Dash!
Mona is speaking tomorrow at our Winning Motions for Summary Judgment: From Discovery Strategy to Persuasive Writing (IL and Federal) webinar on Tuesday, September 22, 2026.
This program is built for attorneys who want a practical, step-by-step framework for summary judgment in Illinois state and federal court. It starts with the differences between FRCP 56 and section 2-1005 and the practical impact of Local Rule 56.1, then moves through building the record in discovery, choosing which arguments to bring, drafting the motion and the statement of undisputed facts, and responding effectively when you are the one opposing. The faculty pairs a practicing commercial litigator with two people who have spent years working inside the Illinois courts.

Mona has taught for us before at our litigation boot camps and is a favorite with our attendees, who tell us she strikes a great balance between being personable and giving them the level of detail they need, teaching through real scenarios and sending them away with practical tips they can use the next day.
Mona is a Member and Director of Personnel at Carlson Dash. She works with corporate and individual clients across commercial litigation, commercial real estate, general corporate work, and residential real estate.
On the litigation side of her practice, Mona represents individuals and entities as well as major creditors in a wide range of matters involving complex commercial cases and employment law.
As a legal business counselor, she has advised individual and corporate owners of multi-unit dwellings, commercial strip malls, gas stations, mixed-use property, and small businesses on dispositions, acquisitions, leasing, employee policies, and financing. She works with clients to determine the right business formation for their needs and continues the relationship by helping them with corporate formalities, shareholder disputes, and dissolution, drafting the shareholder agreements, bylaws, operating agreements, resolutions, and employment contracts that corporate governance requires. She also represents buyers and sellers in dispositions and acquisitions.
That combination is part of why she is well suited to a summary judgment program. Mona sees these disputes from both ends, counseling the client who is structuring the deal and then litigating it when the deal goes wrong.
Welcome back, Mona! We are so glad to have you speaking with us again.
