Long-Term Clients

Many of our business clients have been with our firm for the long-term, seeking assistance as the need arises for all aspects of their business operation, as well as their personal and financial needs. We counsel and advise. We draft documents, simple and complicated. We handle business disputes through negotiation and litigation. We draft bylaws and articles of organization or incorporation. When the enterprise is no longer viable, we assist with business dissolution and if need be, help the owners file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois.

If you need the assistance of a business formation attorney or for any other aspect of operating a family-owned business or closely held corporation, contact Schlueter Ecklund for well-grounded business law assistance. Read more about our bankruptcy practice.
