It’s a Banner Year; Schopf & Weiss LLP Celebrates 25 Years of Legal Service

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The business litigation firm Schopf & Weiss LLP is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the firm commissioned banners which will be exhibited on street poles along Madison Street between Franklin Street and Wacker Drive during the month of October.

“The opportunities that clients have given us, the confidence shown by those who continually refer us and the friendship and loyalty offered by many have formed the bedrock for the firm’s consistent growth and success.”

Schopf & Weiss represents clients across the country in business disputes including antitrust, complex financial and contract matters, insurance recovery on behalf of corporate policyholders, intellectual property, and professional liability. The firm and its attorneys are ranked in Chambers USA among firms highly recommended for commercial litigation in Illinois and have been consistently recognized in Best Lawyers, Leading Lawyers Network and Super Lawyers.

“We started with the belief that a small, focused team of experienced trial attorneys could bring a more efficient approach to litigation,” said founding partner William G. Schopf. “The opportunities that clients have given us, the confidence shown by those who continually refer us and the friendship and loyalty offered by many have formed the bedrock for the firm’s consistent growth and success.”

“When we opened our doors in 1987, the idea that a small firm could handle complex corporate litigation or that corporations would entrust a small firm with such sophisticated matters appeared revolutionary to some,” added Steven A. Weiss, also a founding partner and chairman of the firm. “Even the most skeptical acknowledge that we made that idea a reality. We handle complex litigation in the most cost-effective manner possible, always keeping our clients’ goals the highest priority.”

Why banners? “Banners might seem unconventional for lawyers,” said firm partner Marcus D. Fruchter. “But, our firm has resisted convention from its start. Banners add to the vibrancy and energy of downtown Chicago. We thought it was a great way to celebrate being an established part of this community.”

Schopf & Weiss was founded by William Schopf, Steven Weiss, Patrick Heneghan and Paula Litt.
