Commercial Litigation
VAB litigates matters of all sizes and complexities through trial and appeal in both state and federal courts. Our team has decades of experience trying cases across a variety of forums against a wide range of industry backgrounds. From Fortune 500 companies and government agencies to closely held entities, our clients trust VAB to handle their most sensitive business issues. VAB also appreciates that scorched-earth litigation is not always what the client wants. When appropriate, we seek solutions other than full scale litigation, such as summary trials, arbitration, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
VAB attorneys offer a broad range of perspectives. Our lawyers have previously served as federal and state judicial law clerks, law school professors, government attorneys, in-house counsel, and large law firm attorneys. These varied legal roles coupled with a diverse range of lived experiences allow VAB attorneys to craft a message that resonates with both judges and juries. We understand Illinois and federal civil procedure, and we strive to find approaches that meet the needs of our clients. And we do so cost-effectively with a client-centered focus.
VAB attorneys handle business litigation matters of all types, including those involving:
contract disputes;
class actions;
business torts, including actions involving RICO, consumer fraud, unfair trade practices and antitrust, corporate defamation, and tortious interference with contract, business expectancy, and opportunity;
claims for equitable relief, including actions seeking temporary restraining orders and preliminary and permanent injunctions, and actions involving receiverships;
actions involving the enforceability of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements;
claims involving breach of fiduciary duty, director and officer liability, securities, and property damage;
real estate and title disputes; and
matters involving aviation interests.
VAB also has robust financial services practice and management-side employment litigation practice, including litigation of these matters through trial. Both may be explored here: Financial Services Litigation | Management-Side Employment Litigation
VAB understands our business clients. They expect responsiveness, attention to detail, and a strategy for a successful resolution. Whether a bet-the-company case or a small claims matter, VAB litigators pick up the gauntlet and litigate skillfully while keeping their focus on our clients’ goals.
