In his twenty years of practice, Killacky has focused his legal practice on providing practical, business-oriented advice to clients of all sizes across many industries.

In addition, he advises clients on all types of business transactions, including corporate formation and governance, mergers and acquisitions, secured financings, real estate leases, commercial contracts, and independent contractor and employment agreements.
Boland is an accomplished commercial litigator, having resolved numerous disputes at the trial and appellate court levels. His commercial litigation experience includes pursuing and defending claims arising from breaches of fiduciary duty and violation of the Illinois Business Corporations Act and Limited Liability Act.

He also advocates for clients in all manner of construction disputes pertaining to job-site safety, breaches of contract, and enforcement of public and private mechanic’s liens. Boland currently counsels and defends a national precast steel erection company in litigation arising from an accident during the expansion of the University of Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Boland has successfully litigated in federal district and appellate courts.
