Business Ownership, Formation And Governance
At Esposito & Staubus, LLP, we are proud to be known as “the go-to firm” for business counsel and representation in the Chicago metro area and beyond. We have earned this reputation because of our depth of knowledge and track record of successful outcomes.
When we enter into settlement negotiations representing a business client in DuPage County or elsewhere, we envision the response of a jury hearing our arguments in an imaginary courtroom.
