Elmhurst Resident Appointed to Board of Illinois Bar Foundation

Elmhurst resident Karen McNulty Enright, an attorney with McNabola Law Group in Chicago, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Illinois Bar Foundation (IBF), the charitable arm of the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA). 

Enright is a successful trial lawyer who concentrates in personal injury law and complex medical cases. 

A past president of the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois, she serves on the board of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. She was named by Super Lawyers as one of the top 50 women lawyers in Illinois, and, in 2013, was selected for the Top 10 Women Lawyers in Illinois by Leading Lawyers Network. Recently, Enright was included in a Crain’s Chicago Business story featuring only five attorneys in Chicago as their “next generation of top personal injury attorneys.” Enright has provided pro bono legal work for Chicago Volunteer Legal Services and the Illinois Department of Children and Families Services. She is also a chair-qualified arbitrator for the Cook County Mandatory Arbitration program.
