  Schopf & Weiss LLP represents businesses and business people in business litigation. We are forceful in advocacy, creative in approach, tenacious in negotiations, focused on results and mindful of costs. We meet our clients' needs and exceed their expectations. Our attorneys are accessible, responsive and proactive in communicating about case strategy and developments. We think about exit strategy from the outset and advise our clients not only where the matter stands, but also where it is headed. We take hard cases to trial and win. We try more business cases – from antitrust to RICO to intellectual property and contract – than firms many times our size. We won the first civil RICO case tried in Illinois, the first case tried under the Illinois Trade Secrets Act, and a $32 million verdict in the first lawsuit tried under the U.S. Antidumping Act.
