Litigation and Risk Management
Serving as outside in-house counsel to nonprofits, Howe & Hutton, Ltd. knows it is often easier and less costly to keep our clients out of legal trouble than it is to get them out of legal trouble. To that end, we provide complete risk management services designed to mitigate the need for litigation. As experienced trial and appellate lawyers, however, we represent our association clients in federal and state trial courts and appellate courts whenever necessary.
To discuss your litigation or risk management needs with an attorney at any of our three office locations — Chicago, Washington, DC and St. Louis — call 312-263-3001 or submit an online contact form and someone will be in touch with you promptly.
Since 1985, Howe & Hutton, Ltd., The Law Firm for Associations®, has offered preventive strategies to help our clients avoid litigation in the future. We provide our clients with comprehensive help on compliance issues. Often, clients in the nonprofit and trade show communities turn to our firm with this question: Can this be done? By asking before making a move, our attorneys can help prevent problems from arising.
When problems and disputes do arise, we proceed with aggressive and knowledgeable litigation services. Whether through litigation, arbitration or forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), we represent clients in the following:
- Administrative law and regulatory hearings
- Antitrust litigation
- Employment discrimination claims
- Breach of contract claims
- Intellectual property
- Liability issues regarding injuries occurring at trade shows and conventions
Howe & Hutton, Ltd. also drafts and files amicus briefs on behalf of organizations, associations and advocacy groups in state and federal courts.
Our attorneys are available to travel nationally and internationally to assist you. Contact Howe & Hutton, Ltd. to schedule your consultation.
