Employment Litigation
Labor and employment law frequently changes and tends to be fairly complex. When disputes arise that lead to litigation, they can be highly charged, very personal, and often public. Therefore, they can be difficult to resolve.

At Hannafan & Hannafan we have the knowledge of employment laws and regulations and the skillful expertise to analyze the case and implore the best strategy. At our Chicago law firm we not only have that insightful perception, but we have the dogged determination to explore all angles and develop the best positioning possible for the case.
