Corporate Law and Advice

Illinois Contract Review, Real Estate, and Lease Negotiation Attorneys on Behalf of Businesses

In more than 20 years of service, the attorneys of Swain Hartshorn & Scott have provided corporate counsel to countless local, national and multinational companies from across the nation. We typically do not work in business formation, concentrating instead on providing legal advice to established companies in their Illinois business interests. Just a few of our duties as corporate counsel include:

  • Contract preparation,
  • Real estate acquisition,
  • Sales agreements,
  • Maintenance of corporate records,
  • General corporate advice,
  • Lease negotiation.

Our attorneys are reluctant to identify our clients by name, owing to our continual devotion to keeping our clients' legal issues confidential. We are at liberty, however, to say that our past and present clients include many Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 corporations, investment companies, manufacturers, financial institutions, insurers, manufacturers and distributors of asbestos-containing products, energy production companies, and national charities.

Swain Hartshorn & Scott is a small law firm, but our lawyers have 100 years of combined experience assisting businesses. Our small size is by explicit design; it enables us to give each client close, attentive service, answering all calls and emails quickly and giving each client immediate access to an attorney. Meanwhile, our experience and resources enable us to thoroughly pursue any litigation that may arise.
