He has experience practicing before the state and federal courts of northern Illinois and other jurisdictions, as well as various public and private administrative and arbitration venues.
Prior to joining the Firm, Mr. Bressler was a law clerk to the Honorable Nicholas Bua of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Among his responsibilities in that position was the administration of the Shakman decree, which precludes various Illinois governmental agencies from hiring and firing based on political motivation.
In practice, Mr. Bressler represents individuals, closely held entities, insurers and publicly traded companies, as well as professionals, including architects, engineers, contractors and subcontractors, and physicians and other healthcare concerns. He also represents Illinois’ largest statewide interscholastic athletic association, and represents educational personnel, coaches, and athletic organizations. He has significant experience litigating temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions to complement his numerous trials before judges and juries, and his experience on appeals ranges from state appellate courts to the United States Supreme Court.
Mr. Bressler’s significant litigation experience is of great value in his general business practice, where he represents and advises clients in acquisitions and sales as well as in everyday dealings and unique transactions.
