Cadigan, P.C. represents hospitals, physician practice organizations, mental health professionals, nursing homes, ambulatory surgery centers, home health agencies, and medical and health care service companies in a wide variety of corporate, transactional, regulatory, and reimbursement matters.
Private Client Services
Over the years, many of the business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, and physicians we represent on corporate and transactional matters also look to us for counseling and guidance on personal legal matters for themselves and their families.
Our work in this area includes:
Real Estate and Property Tax Appeals
We represent individuals and families in the northern suburbs of Chicago in purchase and sale of their residential properties.
Our property tax appeal work on behalf of owners of high-end/luxury residential, commercial, and industrial and investment properties helped reduce their annual property tax burden by thousands of dollars a year. We take our residential property tax appeals cases on a contingency fee basis and do not a fee unless we lower your property taxes.
Estate Planning and Wealth Preservation
We work closely with individuals and families to protect and preserve the assets they created during their life’s work for their children and grandchildren. Using a variety of innovative planning strategies, we help families prepare for any special needs of future generations and leave a lasting legacy through philanthropy and charitable giving.
When the need arises, we also stand with and provide guidance to the executors and trustees appointed by our clients in their estate plan documents to ensure that their wishes and intentions are carried out promptly, affordably and efficiently.
Political Law
We represent clients in enforcement actions and ballot access challenges before the Federal Election Commission and state election authorities and on compliance with state pay-to-play restrictions.
In addition to his law practice, Bill Cadigan has been a leader in promoting the elimination of the culture of corruption in Illinois. In the wake of the Blagojevich scandals, Bill’s work on reform was recognized in the final report issued by the Illinois Reform Commission, an independent body empaneled to examine government practices and ethics and make recommendations for cleaning up state government.
Bill previously served on the Illinois State Board of Elections for eight years and was selected to chair the board on two occasions. During Bill’s first term as chair, the Board of Elections was recognized by law enforcement and cybersecurity officials for the agency’s outstanding response to a data breach of the state’s voter registration system database by foreign intelligence agents.
