Guiding his clients through their complex legal issues in the hope of avoiding litigation or to aggressively protect their interests when litigation is unavoidable, is the core of David Goodman’s practice. Through the design and implementation of litigation avoidance strategies David’s approach is to manage and control the risks specific to their businesses, whether they are entrepreneurs or large corporations. When litigation is unavoidable, David, an experienced, commercial litigator, facilitates an aggressive and pragmatic resolution. He has extensive experience in the areas of insurance coverage litigation, business torts, and employment litigation. However, his practice spans the full breadth of commercial litigation. Examples of this experience include:

  • Litigating against insurance carriers to ensure his clients receive the coverage for which they paid.

  • Representing employers in disputes arising from employee dishonesty and breaches of fiduciary duties by officers and directors.

  • Litigation involving trade secret misappropriation and unfair trade practices.

    • He has argued appeals before the Illinois Supreme Court, Illinois Appellate Court, and before the 7th Circuit.
