With nearly 20 years of experience supporting attorneys across diverse practice areas, Danielle Robillard brings a wealth of knowledge and organizational skills to complex litigation matters.
She earned her Paralegal Certificate from Roosevelt University’s ABA-approved program—one of the Midwest’s oldest and most respected programs—and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from DePaul University.
Before joining Thompson Coburn, Danielle spent over 14 years as a paralegal at a management-side labor and employment law firm, where she supported partners in handling intricate workplace disputes and assisted with the firm’s collective bargaining practice. Her career began as a legal secretary and administrative assistant at a plaintiff-side workers’ compensation firm, giving her a strong foundation in case management and client service. Danielle’s extensive experience and commitment to precision make her an invaluable resource for attorneys and clients navigating business litigation challenges.
Outside of the office you’ll likely find me reading historical fiction, snuggling my rescue cats, watching Formula 1, catching a genre film at the Music Box Theatre, and participating in critical analysis of the Real Housewives on Bravo with my friends. I love dabbling in various fiber arts, exploring Chicago’s hidden gems, and am known for baking one mean cookie.
