About

Provided by Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP

Neal Gerber Eisenberg’s litigation practice advocates for individuals and businesses in trial and appellate courts nationwide. Our litigators are also skilled in managing all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, and represent clients before administrative agencies and tribunals. We also counsel clients before controversies occur, providing the foresight and planning that may obviate disputes or strengthen clients’ positions if legal recourse becomes necessary. 

Just as there is no “one kind” of business, there is no “one way” to advocate effectively on behalf of all businesses. Each client and each controversy is unique. Our attorneys approach each case with a focused understanding of not only the area of the law pertinent to the client’s matter, but also the business or market sector in which the matter has arisen.
