On The Beat Industry News In Brief

A co-founder of Hall Render Killian Heath & Lyman PC is returning to the downtown law firm more than a decade after he left it.

Rex Killian will lead the firm’s governance consulting practice, which serves both not-for-profit and for-profit health care clients. Hall Render boasts one of the largest health care practices in the nation.

Killian

Killian left the firm in 1998 to become the first general counsel of the Daughters of Charity National Health System. He served as the transaction lawyer in its consolidation with the Sisters of St. Joseph Health System. That deal resulted in the formation of St. Louis-based Ascension Health.

Ascension is the largest not-for-profit hospital system in the nation and operates St. Vincent Health.

Killian left Ascension in 2007 to start Killian & Associates LLC, an independent health care and governance consultancy.

Hall Render was founded in 1967. With 85 lawyers, it is the eighth-largest firm in the city, according to its latest figures provided to IBJ.

  1. First, the Athenaeum is going to have to get past the hurdle with the Lockerbie residents and the agreement that the parcel would be residential. Second, and in my opinion, this prime piece of property should include parking, PLUS, a black box theater(s), some market rate and affordable artist housing and a plan to renovate and reconfigure the second story theater. I would negotiate to add the DeHaan property surface parking lot into the development mix, place a one story surface parking garage on the DeHaan lot on the street level (for the Dehaan tenants use during the daytime) and add a second story to the garage that would become an addition to the current second story theater and then change the direction of the theater by moving the stage across the alley and on top of the DeHaan lot parking. You can add all the stage elements that are currently missing from the Athenaeum stage to make it more attractive for use by Ballet, Opera and traveling productions. Plus, the theater changes would probably help solve some of the soundproofing issues. Alas,it does not seem to be a part of the strategic plan to conduct a study to determine best use of the property. Seems like the current plan is a quick and easy move that ignores the property best use/potential and any strategic property planning for the effect on future generations.

  2. I recall that MSA's pilings are still in the ground and hard to remove. It’s not likely any proposal will include significant underground construction/parking because of this. Start adding 2 floors of retail, 8 floors of parking and 5-10 floors of possible hotel, and/or 10-20 floors of residential, and you are at 30 floors already with possible expansion of all the uses. But then again I could be wrong.

  3. Accoriding to their website there is no deadline to the Do Not Call list. What is this article referring to??

  4. On what planet are they entitled to this largesse from the stockholders? These people make multi-million dollar salaries: Pay for your own personal travel.

  5. It matters because they're already paid enormously fat salaries: Pay for your own personal travel. Being "taxed on it" isn't a valid excuse--so what? They're still being gifted a raft of luxury perks from somebody else's money on top of an enormous, lavish salary.
