Chicago Commercial Litigation Attorneys

Having distinguished themselves separately as Chicago business attorneys, Andy Schwartz and Tom Kanyock joined to form Schwartz & Kanyock, LLC as an affordable alternative to the traditional big-city law firm. By limiting overhead, we’ve removed many of the restraints that weigh down larger Chicago commercial firms. We litigate fewer cases, so we can deliver a greater degree of personal attention to the cases we accept, allowing us to represent a wider variety of clients without encountering conflicts of interest.
We do not limit our representation to a particular type of client. Rather, we focus on providing the best possible litigation services at trial, on appeal and in post-judgment litigation. With more than 50 years of combined experience handling civil and commercial cases, our attorneys have the knowledge and skill to represent clients on either side of the courtroom — including banks, lending institutions, debtors, creditors and attorneys who’ve been unable to collect a judgment. Once you retain our firm, your case gets our full and undivided attention, and we use every resource at our disposal to ensure your success. Our Chicago attorneys handle all phases of litigation for clients, including discovery, depositions, trial and appeals.
We have extensive experience in cases involving commercial disputes: fraudulent transfers, confessions of judgment and business oppression. Andy and Tom find these cases — representing victims who thought they’d run out of viable options — particularly gratifying. Both attorneys are extremely well versed in these areas of law and have written extensively for the Illinois Bar Journal and the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education. Andy has served as co-counsel in fraudulent transfer cases throughout the United States, and both attorneys act as local counsel for firms located outside Illinois. Tom is an experienced trial consultant for other attorneys.
This blend of knowledge and experience has earned us a reputation for excellence among clients and peers. By joining forces to create Schwartz & Kanyock, LLC, we’ve been able to deliver top-quality legal services and successful results.
