Milan Petrovic, President
Advanced Practical Solution, LLC
Chicago, Illinois

Milan Petrovic is the founder and President of Advanced Practical Solutions located in downtown Chicago, Illinois. He is the voice and face for his clients in Springfield, Chicago and in multiple states. Milan has a unique understanding of his clients’ needs. He is intimately involved with every one of the firm’s clients to ensure that the clients needs receive the constant and immediate attention they require to get their message heard.

Milan has many years of experience building and guiding top tier companies with government relations strategies. An accomplished political strategist, his vision and expertise in business performance, public relations, government and politics have driven notable results for multiple clients in the private sector such as Motorola, Illinois Hospital Association, Trump Casino and Scientific Games, municipalities such as Village of Lake Barrington and the Village of Gilberts as well as nonprofits such as Harper College.

Offering a rare blend of creative and operational strength, Milan has achieved positive results for his clients by working diligently on their behalf. His strategic approach in mediating on behalf of various companies and the government has produced benefits shared both by the State and the clients he represents, as illustrated by his efforts on behalf of Harper College to secure a $4.25 million grant for the institution.

Milan also has had a significant impact on helping clients have their issues heard by appropriate government officials. He lobbied on behalf of Chicago Manufacturing Center to ensure that their work with manufacturing companies throughout Chicago was not interrupted due to a shortage in funding.

Milan’s original ties are with the State of Indiana. In 2001, Milan was hired as a consultant to then Congressman Rod Blagojevich in his campaign for Governor. He was instrumental in providing strategy which helped the candidate win the general election in 2002 to become the first Democratic Governor of Illinois in 26 years.

When he is not lobbying for his clients, Milan spends much time with his wife Anne and their three very active children: Alexia (10), Juliana (8), and Jacob (6). His kids have inspired Milan to start a foundation which will raise money for various children’s charities such as Children’s Memorial Hospital. Milan is particularly involved with the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. As a longtime contributor, he is active in raising awareness and funds for their annual fundraiser in the Chicagoland area.

Milan holds a law degree from Indiana University School of Law and an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Northwestern University.
