Peter G. Syregelas

Peter’s approach to his insurance coverage and appellate practice is defined by deep insurance coverage insights, assertive advocacy, and analysis that never loses sight of the big picture.

Legal disputes do not happen in a vacuum; effective representation requires consideration of business concerns that reach beyond a specific issue or case. Peter aims to provide clients with meaningful counsel for their most consequential matters. Clients benefit from Peter’s thoughtful analysis of their rights and obligations in multimillion-dollar claims. He has guided clients through coverage disputes for high stakes litigation including insurance for class action lawsuits involving the Biometric Information Protection Act (BIPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and other statutory violations which place huge burdens on business.

Peter is committed to keeping clients informed to enable thoughtful strategic choices through all phases of counseling and litigation. Peter’s extensive coverage experience spans several lines including general liability, commercial general liability, cyber liability, data privacy, professional liability, errors and omission, directors and officers, homeowners, personal and business auto, and related policies of insurance.

Peter has been called upon by clients to write provisions, endorsements, and in some cases entire insurance policies.

Peter also leads the firm’s appellate department. Peter’s appellate career began as an elbow clerk to an Illinois Appellate Court Justice where Peter drafted over 150 precedential court opinions and dispositive orders. Since then, he has participated and secured favorable results in many major pieces of litigation at the post-trial and appellate level.

Peter is a member of CLM and has obtained the CLM’s Litigation Management Institute’s litigation management certificate.

He lives with his wife Kelly in Western Springs. Peter and Kelly are proud parents to their daughters, Mina and Georgia.
