Overview

Attorneys in our retail group handle all types of claims involved in the retail field, both before and after claims are filed.  We provide clients with both defense trial skills and assistance in reducing overall risks. Our goal is to partner with our clients to handle their business matters most efficiently, through training, response, and ultimate litigation, if needed.

Our attorneys are experienced in all areas of litigation, including trial and utilization of alternative dispute resolution techniques.  We have decades of trial experience, but also will advocate the use of mediation and pre-trial conferences to resolve cases where appropriate. In addition, group members serve as independent arbitrators and have served as arbitrators for the Cook County Mandatory Arbitration Program.
