Beck, Chaet, Bamberger & Polsky SC

Profile

Twenty years ago, business law was fairly simple and straightforward. No longer. Today, it is a complex legal area that encompasses real estate transactions, creation of business entities, labor/employment law, civil and commercial litigation, receiverships, secured transactions and debtor/creditor issues.

Since 1986, Beck, Chaet, Bamberger & Polsky, S.C. has not only kept up with the changes in business law, but it has anticipated the future as well. The firm, one of Milwaukee’s 25 largest practices, provides a broad array of services for individuals, small businesses and Fortune 500 companies.

“We are a one-stop firm for business,” says Michael Bamberger, managing partner. “Our clients know that when we say we can handle something, we will.”

EXPERIENCED AND EFFECTIVE

The firm’s attorneys are nationally recognized for their skills. Directors Michael Bamberger, Barry Chaet and Michael Polsky have all been named to the Wisconsin Super Lawyers® list. The Business Journal noted that Polsky “has built southeast Wisconsin’s largest business insolvency and receivership practice.” Shareholders J. Paul Neumeier Jr. and Matthew Vignali have been named to the Rising Stars list.

“We continually keep on top of changing laws and regulations that affect business,” says Chaet. It is no easy feat. For example, labor and employment laws are continually evolving. Health-care compliance, regulation and litigation also change with lightning speed.

Because the attorneys at Beck, Chaet, Bamberger & Polsky, S.C. are experienced and well informed, they handle matters efficiently and at a reasonable cost.

A BROAD BASE

Clients include manufacturing industries, health-care providers, accounting firms, law firms and major retail, financial and educational institutions. AnchorBank, Bucyrus International, Briggs & Stratton Corporation, Dean Foods Corp., Guaranty Bank, Marquette University, St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center, the Wisconsin Innkeepers Association and the Wisconsin Restaurant Association are but a small sample of the variety of clients we serve.

No matter the size or the industry, every client receives a cooperative approach. “Client service is built on our responsiveness to clients’ needs,” says Polsky. “We fully understand the relationship between the corporations, investors, employees and competitors—all of whom must be treated with respect and sensitivity.”

The firm is equally sensitive to the cost of doing business in today’s economy. “We work to anticipate and prevent unnecessary litigation,” Bamberger says. “But should litigation arise, we want to find the quickest and fairest resolution to disputes. Unnecessary litigation and legal expenses are not a required part of ‘the business of doing business.’”
