BUSINESS DISPUTES · INSURANCE COVERAGE
Business Litigation and Insurance Coverage in Glenview
Glenview turned a former naval air station into one of the strongest business communities on the North Shore. The Glen, built on the 1,121-acre site of Naval Air Station Glenview, brings together homes, The Glen Town Center, and Prairie Glen Corporate Campus, a 92-acre business park of corporate offices and flex buildings. Illinois Tool Works is headquartered on Harlem Avenue, Abt Electronics is one of the village’s largest employers, and Glenbrook Hospital anchors a busy community of medical and professional practices.
Allison Cho Law is a business litigation and insurance recovery firm serving Glenview companies, contractors, medical practices, and retailers. We handle construction and lease disputes, ownership changes in professional practices, vendor contracts, and property claims that need a firm push. Our office is a short drive away in Northbrook.
Glenview keeps investing in its downtown. The village has backed new restaurants and storefronts along Waukegan Road with redevelopment agreements and incentives, and new commercial projects continue to move through its Development Commission. Each of those projects runs on contracts: the lease, the construction agreement, and the incentive terms a business signs with the village. Getting those terms right at the start keeps a project on schedule.
Medical and office buildings carry their own coverage questions. A water leak in an exam suite or a roof failure over a clinic can pause appointments as well as damage the space, so business income coverage often matters as much as the repair. A prompt, well-documented claim keeps both moving.

FROM OUR INSIGHTS
Related Insights
D&O policies commonly exclude lawsuits brought by one insured against another, which can leave co-owners without coverage when they sue each other. The exclusion doesn’t require proof of collusion in Illinois, but exceptions for former officers, derivative suits, and bankruptcy trustees, along with mixed-plaintiff lawsuits, can preserve coverage.
