Laura Holoubek, a partner at Dinsmore & Shohl LLP, will teach equine law at the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law this spring. Holoubek is a national authority on the subject and chairs Dinsmore\u2019s Equine Industry and Gaming & Sports Industry groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Equine law accounts for about 80 percent of Holoubek\u2019s work at Dinsmore, where she represents local, national and international clients in both the thoroughbred and sport horse industry, handling matters including acquisition and financing of racetracks, purchase and sales of racehorses, stallions and top sport horses, advice on USEF, FEI and IOC compliance, partnerships, syndications, USEF competition licensing and more. She also works with national and international gaming companies, advising them on state and federal regulatory matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m so excited to teach this class again,\u201d Holoubek said. \u201cIt\u2019s an awesome way to give back and stay connected with the next generation of lawyers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The course, which Holoubek proposed and founded in 2007, will be available to second- and third-year students and will cover \u201call aspects of equine law,\u201d including regulatory and gaming law, contract issues, liability issues, stallion syndication and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dinsmore\u2019s equine group has grown to nine attorneys in recent years, including Partner Kerry Irwin, who was a student under Holoubek. But horses are more than a profession for Holoubek, who grew up competing in eventing and show jumping, which she does to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHorses are my passion but also my career,\u201d she said. \u201cI continue to compete in the Adult Jumpers, and I\u2019m fortunate my law practice keeps me involved in the horse sport and racing world on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holoubek also contributes her time and expertise to numerous community organizations, including Equestrian Events, Inc., New Vocations Racehorse Adoption, and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
