Isaiah Fishman

I am a business litigator that represents both corporate entities and individuals regarding business disputes. I regularly maneuver my clients through contract and employment disputes, corporate and partnership disputes, payment disputes, and bankruptcy related matters. I have a particular expertise in the following areas: Commercial Real Estate - I represent commercial landlords and tenants in all manner of lease disputes; title companies, contractors, and subcontractors in mechanics lien disputes; lenders and borrowers in loan defaults (including guarantees); and, navigate related bankruptcy and insurance coverage issues. Employment Issues - I regularly advise businesses on a host of employment issues including wage and discrimination claims and have had several cases involving enforcement of non-competition agreements and allegations of confidential information/trade secret misappropriation in which I have experience representing both the company seeking to enforce the agreement and the departed employee. I have run the gamut in the litigation process for both plaintiff and defendant, handling cases from the pleadings phase through discovery, trial, collection, and appeals. I also have experience handling complex eDiscovery (protocols, review platforms, computer forensic analysis), expert discovery, and requests for emergency relief (temporary restraining orders, receivers). I am a member of the federal trial bar and, while I mostly practice in the state and federal courts of Illinois, I have also handled matters in the federal courts of Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and California.
