Practice Areas
Our law firm has been around since 1948. Our practices have changed over the years, but the relationships we forge are very much the same.

Our full-service real estate practice encompasses buying and selling property, land use and zoning negotiations, development, financing and construction; leasing, exit strategies and dispute resolutions. We offer a sophisticated team that understands the ins and outs of real estate.

After seventy-five years, we know that every day we learn something new about business – your business and ours. And every day, we strive to be better – better people, better parents, better lawyers. As a result, we become better business owners.

Siegel Brill’s employment attorneys represent individuals and small employers to some of the largest, privately held companies in the upper Midwest. We help companies make important day-to-day decisions on policy and procedure, human resources, finances and operations, and strategic planning. Both employers and employees consult us to navigate an employment challenge, claim, or lawsuit. We understand the common workplace issues that can lead to disputes and litigation, and we are zealous advocates in the event of a dispute.

Siegel Brill has assertive and experienced litigators who are grounded in the day-to-day transactions of business — from contract and employment matters to land use, development and construction, as well as the protection of intellectual property and trade secrets. When litigation is indicated, we are formidable allies to help you resolve disputes and protect your rights.

Eminent Domain and Tax Appeals have been hallmarks of Siegel Brill’s practice throughout its existence. Siegel Brill advocates for property owners, tenants, and others who own interests in real estate to maximize the amount of “just compensation” required from the government in eminent domain actions. Our experience and understanding of land valuation principles also makes us effective advocates for lowering property taxes for a wide array of properties.

Wealth preservation and transfer decisions don’t end with the preparation of a will. Siegel Brill considers succession, tax and estate planning an ongoing service for individuals and businesses. Our goal is to help you efficiently transfer or distribute property and assets, minimize taxation and develop other estate planning goals at various stages of your life or the life of your business. Handled properly, your estate can also avoid costly probate proceedings.
