Joshua E. Liebman

I concentrate my practice in civil litigation with an emphasis on complex commercial matters and professional negligence defense.  I have defended professional misconduct claims brought against attorneys and insurance brokers.  I also have represented clients in matters involving trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation and have worked closely with both employees and employers on issues related to restrictive covenants contained in employment agreements.

I have been involved in all stages of litigation at both the trial and appellate level.  I have successfully briefed and argued summary judgment motions in state and federal court.  I have deposed and defended the depositions of key fact and expert witnesses.   I have prepared cases for trial and have participated in formal mediation proceedings.

While attending law school, I served as the Research Editor of the Loyola University Law Journal and won the distinction of being named best respondent in the 2003 Niagara International Moot Court Competition.  In 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013, I was selected for inclusion in the Super Lawyer’s list of Illinois Rising Stars.

I am a member of the Chicago Bar Association and the American Bar Association.  I also am a member of the Jewish Council for Youth Services’ (JCYS) Board of Directors.  JCYS provides educational and recreational services for children and teens in and around Chicago.
