arcturus

The cornerstone of Arcturus’ practice is complex civil litigation. Representative practice areas include breach of contract/warranty, restrictive covenants (non-compete, non-solicit, confidentiality), shareholder oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, lender liability, fraud and misrepresentation claims, complex trust and estate disputes, municipal law, and real estate litigation, including condiminium disputes. The firm has experience representing clients ranging from banks, energy companies, and airlines to small businesses in fields as diverse as real estate, publishing, consumer goods, and food testing. The firm has been successful before state and federal courts and administrative tribunals, at the trial and appellate level, in Illinois and across the country. Read about some of our successful outcomes here.

Arcturus prides itself on its appellate work. The firm has successfuly handled appeals at the state and federal level for both appellants and appellees on a wide range of issues, including fiduciary duties, real estate law, and both state and federal procedural issues. For representative cases, see below.

Arcturus has broad experience in “business divorce” cases — disputes between owners, partners, or members in closely-held corporations, partnerships, and limited-liability companies (LLCs) about the future of the business. Arcturus represents individuals and entities, plaintiffs and defendants, in these matters (which are also sometimes referred to as business dissolution, oppression, freeze-outs, or squeeze-outs). Arcturus combines big firm know-how with personal attention to your personal or business goals. The firm’s adoption of alternative pricing models in appropriate cases, and its lack of billable hour targets, can help bring certainty and sanity to the nebulous world of legal billing.
