Litigation: General Commercial

Gallagher's growing group of commercial litigators are known particularly for their  representation of real estate companies, religious organizations, and non-profits. In recent trial and appellate wins for clients, Gallagher’s litigators (1) successfully appealed a trial court decision approving an excessive tax on the transfer of an assisted living community; (2) defeated a government appeal of an injunction enforcing a church’s land use rights on religious freedom grounds; (3) prevailed on the appeal of a summary judgment decision in favor of an Illinois-based utility pole manufacturer sued by its former investor; (4) won an appellate challenge to a declaratory judgment recognizing the vested rights of injured tort claimants under commercial general liability insurance policies; and (5) obtained a finding of no fault and an award of attorneys’ fees following an two-week arbitration claiming defects in the construction of a parking garage. Gallagher is known for adhering to the highest ethical standards, and the firm’s litigators have earned the trust of judges and the bar. Gallagher litigators are regularly appointed as fiduciaries in receiverships or monitorships involving businesses under government investigation. Additionally, Gallagher’s litigators set themselves apart as community servants, holding positions of leadership with non-profits, bar associations, businesses, and organizations promoting social justice.
