iLaw today announced that Michael Gregory, Director of New Markets with Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, will become its Senior Vice President of Business Development, reporting to CEO and President, Dean Emeritus Ken Randall. Mr. Gregory will help build on iLaw’s successful track record of delivering high-quality distance-learning courses for law schools in the U.S. and globally.
