King & Jones represents businesses, owners, and families in commercial and estate disputes throughout DuPage County. Our partners have spent more than 40 years trying and resolving high-stakes cases, and we bring that experience to clients in Naperville, Wheaton, and the communities across the county. Whether the dispute involves a closely held business, a partnership, or a contested estate, we prepare every matter for trial and pursue the strongest outcome available.
We are a litigation boutique that is selective about the cases we accept. The partners who evaluate your matter are the same lawyers who handle it. You deal directly with experienced trial attorneys, not a chain of associates.
Litigation in the 18th Judicial Circuit
Civil, commercial, and probate cases in DuPage County are heard in the 18th Judicial Circuit at the DuPage County Judicial Center in Wheaton, the county seat. Business disputes, fiduciary claims, and contested estate and trust matters all move through this court. We understand how cases progress in the circuit and prepare each one to withstand the scrutiny of a trial, which strengthens our hand whether a matter settles or is decided by a judge.
Business and Commercial Disputes
We represent companies, owners, and investors in the disputes that decide who controls a business and who bears a loss:
- Breach of contract. Enforcing and defending commercial agreements and deal terms.
- Breach of fiduciary duty. Claims against partners, managers, officers, and directors who breach their obligations.
- Shareholder and partnership disputes. Freeze-outs, oppression, buyouts, and dissolution of closely held companies.
- Business torts. Tortious interference, fraud, and unfair competition.
- Trade secret and restrictive covenant litigation. Protecting confidential information and litigating non-compete and non-solicitation agreements.
- Insurance coverage disputes. Pursuing coverage that a carrier has wrongly denied.
