Fair and Unfair Competition, Breach of Contract and Fraud Claims
Business litigation can have more risks than appear on the surface. Is there a potential for liability on your part? How much money is at stake? If you get a judgment, can it be paid?
At Konicek & Dillon, P.C., we believe it's important to decide at the beginning of a case rather than at the end whether litigation is viable. If litigation is likely to be fruitless or too expensive, then it's better not to proceed. If you are considering commercial litigation, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case. With offices in Geneva and Chicago, we handle commercial litigation throughout Illinois.
The following are examples of the types of commercial litigation our lawyers handle:
- Breach of contract claims: When a business does not carry out its side of a business contract, the other side can seek relief for the damages it has suffered.
- Misuse of intellectual property/trade secrets: There is nothing wrong with competition. However, if a company competes by stealing ideas and trade secrets, our courts can provide a remedy.
- Business fraud: In an ideal world, businesses would always tell the truth about their products and services. Unfortunately, the real world is not always an ideal one.
- Director and officer liability: Officers and directors of companies have a fiduciary duty to the company, which is different from what a regular employee owes the company.
Blended Hourly and Contingency Fees
We handle many commercial litigation cases on a blended hourly and contingency fee basis. For these cases, we charge a reduced hourly rate, which is capped at a certain amount. From that point on, we handle the case on a contingency basis, charging no further fee unless we prevail. By doing so, we share the costs, the risks and the potential rewards with you.
