Chicagoland Commercial Law Attorneys

Toussaint & Carlson, Ltd.

The long-term success of any business is highlighted by the development and maintenance of strong, productive working relationships with vendors, suppliers, distributors, retailers, and other business partners. These relationships are incredibly important and are true indicators of a business's health and vitality in the future.

Short-term success, however, is usually measured in profits alone.

• Vendor relations - resolving disputes with vendors and customers, handling warranty issues, and international trade
• Tax representation including IRS matters
• Negotiating mergers and acquisitions
• Advising on sales and acquisitions of businesses
• Drafting and negotiating franchising agreements,
• Resolving shareholder / partnership disputes and facilitating buyouts
• Commercial real estate purchases, lease agreement negotiation, and landlord/tenant disputes
• General civil litigation

As attorneys, we not only solve our clients' problem in these areas, we advise, educate, and conduct seminars with brokers, executives, bankers, and others in order to show them how to anticipate—and avoid—the legal problems that tomorrow can bring.

As a firm, we have more than 40 years of combined legal experience in these matters and have represented clients on all sides of these issues. This background has given us a valuable, more complete perspective that benefits our clients continually in the way we are able to identify and resolve potential problems before they can derail important business transactions.
