After graduating third in his class from law school in 1994, Les was associated with one of the preeminent securities arbitration attorneys in the country.
During this association, Les was involved in the successful representation of a client before a judge now sitting on the United States Supreme Court.
Based on one of his courtroom performances, Mr. Bleifuss was recruited by a former Assistant U.S. Attorney with the Department of Justice to join a large Chicago-based law firm to litigate business disputes including breach of contract, fraud, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with business relationship, breach of covenant not to compete, breach of fiduciary duty, and conversion.

Because of the unique and complex nature of these types of disputes, these cases are commonly assigned to the chancery division and tried before a judge rather than a jury.
These cases also tend to be document-intensive, which places a high premium on pretrial discovery and strategy.
Our attorneys understand that most business owners do not want to be involved in extensive and expensive litigation.
We try to negotiate peace when and where possible.
But, in those cases where peace cannot be achieved on mutually acceptable terms, our attorneys are ready, willing and able to take a case to trial.
