Books by Daniel A. Cotter

Illinois Business and Commercial Law gives business lawyers black letter law, illustrative cases, and practical guidance for advising Illinois businesses throughout their life cycle. It begins with entity selection and formation, then covers governance, fiduciary duties and owner disputes, financing, business acquisitions, franchising, contracts and UCC transactions, employment and restrictive covenants, business torts and trade secrets, financial distress, privacy and cybersecurity, and professional and healthcare entities. Rather than offering disconnected statutory summaries, it focuses on planning, drafting, compliance, risk management, remedies, and the real-world issues counsel face in operating, buying, selling, and restructuring a business.
