Corporate Governance Guidance
Matters in corporate governance are the focus of board members, executives, shareholders, and investors.

Chicago Corporate Law Attorneys on TROs and Injunctive Relief
Temporary restraining orders (TROs) and injunctive relief are solutions when time is critical, especially when court intervention is needed to prevent irreparable harm. For example, strained business relations, trade secret disputes, or class actions affecting the public interest often require immediate legal action. As a result, these remedies help prevent harm that might continue throughout the litigation process.
Case Example: Burr Oak Cemetery
Our firm successfully used injunctive relief on behalf of families affected by the Burr Oak Cemetery scandal. A class action was filed on July 10, 2009, after it was discovered that cemetery employees removed bodies from gravesites, damaging and destroying remains. Through swift legal action, Blake Horwitz convinced the court to prevent further abuses. The court removed the cemetery owners and appointed a “receiver” to oversee operations, while the State investigated criminal misconduct by cemetery employees.
