Business Dispute Experience in Chicago
Our attorneys have more than 100 years of combined legal experience. Within our litigation practice, we’ve managed hundreds of cases in state and federal courts involving businesses and commercial interests.
We limit our dispute caseload so each matter receives prompt, comprehensive attention. This approach supports careful analysis of the claims, contracts, business relationships, and procedural demands involved.
Chicago Commercial Courts & Illinois Regulators
We routinely appear in the Circuit Court of Cook County and interact with regulators in Illinois. Our downtown Chicago location places us near the commercial courts, government agencies, and professional organizations involved in many local business matters.
The Richard J. Daley Center houses the County Division, Law Division, and First Municipal District of the local circuit court. Its Law Division hears civil suits seeking monetary damages exceeding $30,000 in Chicago, making it a relevant venue for substantial contract and commercial disputes.
Careful contract drafting, sound corporate records, and early legal review can address potential conflicts before they escalate into formal claims in Cook County courts.

There are a wide variety of business entity formats to choose from, including limited liability companies (LLCs), limited liability partnerships (LLPs), corporations, joint ventures, sole proprietorships, and partnerships.

What Is Included in Business Law Practices?

I had a complex legal issue relating to Contract Law, which on first glance, there was no good solution. I am an attorney, but I am not a specialist in Contract Law. I contacted Bill Dallas because I understood that he is an expert in Contract Law. Bill took my initial call, was very nice, listened attentively, and the next day, I received an email with the answer that I needed. Bill, and his associate, Nicholas Lacourt, looked at the issue, and found the answer that I needed to proceed and to eventually resolve the issue to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Bill Dallas, Nicholas Lacourt, and their entire firm.- Dianne O.
