We represent small to medium-sized businesses and their owners and officers on matters involving their relationships with the business and each other, including employment agreements, shareholder agreements, severance agreements, governance issues and dissolution disputes.
Principals of a business sometimes unintentionally run afoul of duties imposed upon them by law when undertaking actions toward their co-owners. In these situations, experienced, practical pre-litigation counseling may save thousands of dollars in litigation expenses later on. Whether you are considering agreements with current or prospective owners or officers, we can offer advice to help you to consider all the potential issues and alternatives.
When relationships become strained, such counseling is critical to avoid exposure to potential claims of breach of fiduciary duty and other theories. Level-headed, objective thinking at this stage is sometimes in short supply, and something we provide.
Should litigation become necessary, we have extensive experience in representing companies and individuals in cases dealing with shareholder oppression, breach of contract, wrongful termination, breach of fiduciary duty and business dissolutions. We make clear your objectives, and strive to achieve a prompt and cost-effective resolution as circumstances permit.
From our law office at 10 South La Salle Street, our lawyers serve clients throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.
