Commercial Litigation

Business disputes are an inevitable reality of commercial life, but how they are resolved makes all the difference. Our commercial litigation team represents plaintiffs and defendants in complex business disputes across the Circuit Court of Cook County, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Illinois Appellate Courts, and major arbitration forums including the American Arbitration Association and JAMS. We approach every matter with a clear strategic framework — evaluating the strength of claims and defenses, the costs and benefits of litigation versus settlement, and the client's broader business objectives — to determine the approach most likely to produce the best outcome.

Our litigators have deep experience handling breach of contract actions, business torts, partnership and shareholder disputes, trade secret misappropriation under the Illinois Trade Secrets Act (765 ILCS 1065) and the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, non-compete enforcement and defense, fraud and fiduciary duty claims, unfair competition, and commercial collections. We draw on our firm's corporate and transactional expertise to develop litigation strategies that are informed by real-world business considerations. Whether your matter calls for aggressive courtroom advocacy, skillful mediation, or an expedited arbitration resolution, our team has the experience and resources to deliver results for Chicago-area businesses and national clients with disputes in Illinois courts.
