Divorce
Guardianship
A person may be nominated to be the guardian of a minor child in a parent’s will, an adult with special needs may wish to name someone as their legal guardian, or a person may look to establish guardianship for a child or adult who is in their care. Guardianship may be established by filing a petition in court, and a judge will decide what level of authority a guardian may have toward the person in their care, who is known as their “ward.”

Wrongful Death
In Illinois, there are strict deadlines for filing personal injury or wrongful death claims. If you wait past these time limits, your right to take legal action against the liable party may expire.
Forgery
Forgery or fraud – A will may be found to be invalid if it can be shown that the person’s signature was forged, that it was altered after it was signed, or that the person was misled into signing documents that did not properly reflect their actual wishes.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
When addressing these types of disputes, the first step parties will want to take is to review the company’s foundational documents and contracts. These may include a partnership agreement, an operating agreement for an LLC, or a shareholder agreement for a corporation. In many cases, these agreements will specify the methods that will be used to resolve disputes between partners and/or shareholders, such as mediation or arbitration. At the Gierach Law Firm, LLC, we can help you follow the terms of your partnership agreements and determine the best way to reach a settlement using these methods, and we can also provide representation in business litigation if it becomes necessary to take a case to court.

Business Disputes
Business ownership provides numerous advantages and opportunities. Entrepreneurs can not only be their own boss, but they can plan for how to achieve a secure financial future while doing what they love. However, it is important to make the right choices when starting out, including determining which type of business entity will provide tax advantages and protection against liability. By working with a business law attorney who understands the legal and financial issues involved in starting and building a business, entrepreneurs can ensure that they are prepared for success.
Business Transactions
Business transactions – Buying or selling business assets, such as products, materials, equipment, or supplies, can affect taxes in a variety of ways. In many cases, the timing of these transactions can play a significant role in a business’s tax exposure.
Limited Liability Companies
Business owners will also need to consider asset protection strategies when creating a business succession plan. By determining the best ways to transfer business interests to family members or partners upon their retirement or death, a person can make sure the business will be able to continue operating and generating income. Family limited partnerships or limited liability companies with a proper operating agreement can be a good solution for minimizing taxes and transferring business assets to family members over time, allowing them to gradually assume control over a business while ensuring that assets are protected from creditors.
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property disputes – You may need to take action to address violations of copyrights, trademarks, or patents owned by your business. By pursuing intellectual property litigation, you may be able to recover damages for the financial harm that your company suffered because of these violations, and you can take steps to make sure another person or business ceases activities that infringe on your intellectual property rights.

Employment Contract
Employees – A company’s owners or partners will need to determine whether they will retain existing employees, create new roles, or make adjustments to the company’s organization structure following a merger or acquisition. Employment contracts or policies regarding independent contractors may need to be updated, and the new company may need to make changes to company handbooks or create new policies and procedures for employees.

We will put our experience to work for you and help you resolve these matters as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Non-compete Agreement
A partnership agreement, operating agreement, or shareholder agreement will typically define the procedures that will be followed when a partner or shareholder leaves a company. In addition to describing how a buyout of a departing partner’s shares will be completed, the parties may also need to address issues such as liability for business debts or non-compete agreements that will ensure that the departing partner will not directly compete against the company. the Gierach Law Firm, LLC can make sure all of these issues are handled properly during a business divorce, and if necessary, we can provide representation when litigating these matters in the courtroom.

Real Estate Transactions

If you are a commercial landlord or tenant, we can help you draft and negotiate a commercial lease agreement that will protect your rights and meet your needs throughout the term of the lease. We can arrange for you to use a Section 1031 exchange transaction, so you can defer the gain assuming that you will be purchasing a â€œreplacement property.â€
Eminent Domain
Property owners have certain rights in the United States, but there are some situations in which the government can take property without the owner’s consent. In cases involving eminent domain, a state or local government may take ownership of private real estate property if the property is needed for public use, and just compensation must be paid to the property owner. Owners of commercial real estate or other property that the government plans to take can determine their legal options by working with an attorney who understands the eminent domain laws in Illinois.
Land Use and Zoning
Our real estate lawyers can review your plans for real estate development and help identify any zoning laws or land use issues that may affect your planned use of the property. We can help you prepare applications and obtain approval from zoning boards, planning commissions, or other local government organizations. If necessary, we can help you determine whether you can apply for variances, conditional use permits, or other special exceptions to zoning laws.

Medical Malpractice
Personal injuries often occur as a result of car accidents, medical malpractice, or truck accidents. These incidents may have happened unintentionally, but the negligence of others caused some. An individual or company may be negligent if they fail to act with care. If their negligence causes injury to another, they may be liable for any damages sustained by the injured party.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
The death of a loved one is never easy. Dealing with the emotional impact of the loss can be hard enough, and things can become much more complex for those who are tasked with managing a person’s affairs, attending to their final wishes, and ensuring that their assets are distributed to their heirs. If you have been named the executor of a loved one’s estate, or if you are a trustee who needs to ensure that a person’s assets will be distributed according to their instructions, an attorney who is experienced in estate planning and estate administration can provide the assistance you need.
Wills
A last will and testament will nominate a person as the executor of the estate of the deceased person, who is known as the “decedent.” The executor’s duties include filing the decedent’s will in the local probate court and ensuring that the proper procedures are followed during the probate process. If a person dies without a valid will, a personal representative will be nominated to administer the estate throughout the probate process.
Trusts
Trusts are one of the most useful tools for asset protection. These financial instruments allow you to place assets under the control of a trustee, who will manage the assets and distribute them to your beneficiaries. Irrevocable trusts often provide the most protection from creditors, since they will completely remove assets from your control, ensuring that they cannot be lost to creditors while also helping minimize potential estate taxes. These trusts can be used in conjunction with revocable trusts to provide robust management of your assets and meet your family’s needs.
Power of Attorney
A comprehensive estate plan can not only address how you want matters to be handled after your death, but it can also include decisions about your finances and your needs during your lifetime. One issue that you may want to address is what will happen if you ever become ill, incapacitated, or disabled in a way that affects your ability to make decisions for yourself. By creating powers of attorney, you can ensure that your wishes will be followed in these situations.
