PRACTICE AREAS
BUSINESS LAW
We offer comprehensive legal services to businesses of all sizes. Our experienced attorneys provide legal guidance and representation in all aspects of business law, including formation, contracts, mergers and acquisitions, management solutions and more. From businesses such as agriculutral cooperatives, banks, and contractors, we know the ABC's of business law.
REAL ESTATE
From the outset of negotiations through closing, we strive to mold the transaction to meet the needs of our clients. With decades of real estate transactions "under our belt", our own title plant and staff, and experience in business and real estate transactions from $1 to $50 million, we are uniquely equipped to solve title issues, find solutions, and get transactions closed.
BANKING AND FINANCIAL
GOVERNMENT LAW
Our attorneys are versed in advising and couseling the board of directors and executive leadership, and assisting human resources in daily operations. In addition we have the necessary experience to assist our clients in the loan underwriting, securitization process, and when problems arise, we have the experience and resources to provide effective solutions.
By representing cities, villages, park districts, sanitary districts, fire protection districts, municipal airports, and pension funds, we have advised governmental entities with respect to a broad range of activities, from drafting ordinances through the development of comprehensive zoning plans and the revision and adoption of complete municipal or district codes.
BUSINESS AND SUCCESSION PLANNING
Assisting you in keeping what you have worked hard to obtain is a priority for our planning attorneys. In today's complex tax world, the need to create, monitor, and update your estate and succession plan is an ongoing and necessary activity. Whether you need a will, trust, or complex plan for the transfer of your business, our personal service and attention to detail will yield the needed results.
AGRICULTURAL AND AGRIBUSINESS LAW
Agriculture is a special area of the law where we have a personal interest. Our knowledge of, and personal participation in, farming and business activities make us particularly suited to provide representation to cooperatives, family farms, and agribusinesses. We speak your language, understand your your needs, and likely share your concerns as to the future of farming.
OUR VISION
Silver Lake Group, Ltd. is a business and commercial law firm dedicated to providing high-quality legal services to our clients. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing businesses in a wide range of industries, and we pride ourselves on delivering practical and effective legal solutions to complex legal issues.
History
After about a decade practicing with two large firms, Silver Lake Group, Ltd. was established as a “boutique” law firm. The driving force behind this new (at the time) endeavor was the opportunity to build a general business practice without the constraints of being at a firm with attorneys who may not fully understand the unique business needs of the midwest and rural America. Thus, Silver Lake Group, Ltd. was established as a business law firm to assist clients in meeting their business-related objectives. The practice of our attorneys is limited to those areas of law where we actually have the knowledge and experience to bring a solution to problems or issues presented by our clients, such as finance, contracting, government, real estate, and commercial litigation. This allows us to provide services in a manner that is more efficient, effective, and appropriate for each unique situation.
We have been blessed with good clients such that the scope of our representation is far reaching, ranging from general operational and organizational/board governance matters to complex financing matters, tax increment financing (TIF) and business district issues, zoning, annexation and development matters. In addition, our representation includes, almost on a daily basis, dealing with banking, finance, real estate employment, and contract matters. We have represented businesses in essentially all aspects of their business, from simple contract review matters to $50 million mergers and acquisitions. In addition, over the years, we have also represented several state agencies, including the Department of Insurance, the Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety.
We also own our own title company, an action that has allowed us to provide more timely and complete service to our clients with real estate needs. With our own in-house administrative team, we can provide title search, ownership report, closing, escrow, and exchange services in a more economical and timely manner. This option has served the firm well as we have closed simple transactions for a vacant lot to a water line expansion for a client that spanned some 300 easements and properties.
