Firm Overview
Chicago's North Shore Business Attorneys
At Ciesla & Ciesla, the bottom line is business.
The majority of our clients are large and small business owners. The largest asset they have is their business. In order to represent these clients well, we draw upon our extensive experience to understand how businesses operate and how they are valued.
- If a client is considering divorce, we understand the impact that the division of assets may have on a business and can work to minimize the damage.
- If an executive or business owner client is ready for estate planning, we understand the importance of asset protection for complex executive compensation packages, and can assist in planning for the transfer of a business to the next generation.
- In our work with health care e and education clients, we respond to the unique business needs of those industries.
- One foundation of our practice is in the area of liquor law, helping Chicago and national companies obtain, maintain and defend the liquor license that keeps their bar, restaurant or club open.
