Areas of Law Description

- Business & Corporate Law Firm

We represent businesses at every stage of growth and development, from startups to mature businesses and those looking to expand, acquire or be sold. Our attorneys are skilled in business organization, business formation, and structuring issues such as choice of limited liability companies or S-corporations, and we work with accountants and other professionals. We can help you determine the best way to structure and operate your business.

- Business Loans & Financing

Often a business is cash-based, or recently set up, without the traditional financial benchmarks that banks like to see. In a tight credit climate, some business arrangements do not fall into neat categories beloved by bank loan officers. Our business loan and financing lawyers will assist you in finding the right fit for a loan. We are effective in negotiating bank loan workouts.

- Business Disputes, Litigation & Appeals

Any business dispute could erupt into a costly lawsuit. An unexpected lawsuit can seriously disrupt your business. We are experienced commercial litigation attorneys who handle all types of business disputes, including contract, shareholder, business partnership, real estate, officer/director and contract disputes, and issues arising out of noncompeting agreements.

- Internet, E-Commerce, & Technology

Unique problems can arise with an online business startup, or when bricks-and-mortar business ventures into Internet e-commerce. If you have an Internet business, a business involving e-commerce, or a business expanding through the internet or new technologies, we will protect your interests in this frontier where business law meets emerging technologies.

- Healthcare Information Technology

Our Chicago-based attorneys help medical professionals leverage technology and explore new sources of revenue. We can help ensure that your business complies with industry regulations and guidelines, such as HIPPA. We will work with you to minimize the risk of litigation over breach of privacy claims.

- Estate Planning & Probate

Our estate planning and probate attorneys will help you create an estate plan with the goal of distributing your assets according to your wishes and minimizing the applicable estate tax and gift taxes. We can also help you determine if a specialty trust is right for you, such as a trust for your children or grandchildren, a trust to benefit your family foundation or a favorite charity, and special needs trusts.

- Intellectual Property

One of the most valuable aspects of a business is intellectual property. It can directly and indirectly impact several areas of your enterprise, including ownership structure, operating procedures, and income. The intellectual property of a business includes its proprietary information, customer information, procedures, trade secrets, methods, copyrights, plans, client lists, trademarks, and data. Our law firm can help you address and monetize your rights in your intellectual property.

- Commercial Real Estate

It is important that you consult with a real estate lawyer who has the experience and the skill to protect your interests if you are involved in a commercial real estate transaction. Our law firm provides efficient, effective, and affordable legal solutions, knowledgeable advice and effective representation. We will handle all aspects of the transaction, from negotiation through initial purchase to completion.

- Government Contracting

Competing for government contracts means dealing with complex regulations. Government contracting hurdles are numerous and intricate. We can guide you through the maze of regulations of government contracts. We provide legal counsel to companies doing business with federal, state, local governments, and government agencies.

- E-Commerce

E-commerce has expanded beyond a company’s website, and your business needs to adjust to stay competitive. To stay competitive, your company must explore and leverage the new tools, techniques, and opportunities offered by e-commerce and Web 2.0 in order to expand your customer base and influence your customers’ purchasing decisions. Our Illinois E-commerce lawyers can help your business develop innovative, effective business policies, procedures & practices to help your company stay competitive, foster customer loyalty, preserve your business reputation and grow revenues.
