About Chuck Bergen

Chuck Bergen represents an array of sophisticated clients in their most complex and financially significant cases, helping them achieve their objectives through litigation, arbitration, and mediation.

Clients regularly turn to Chuck in emerging areas of the law, where there may be a novel or unique set of facts and little or no case law precedent. Time and again, he masters the issues, develops winning legal theories, and takes matters to court on behalf of his clients. He has delivered precedent-setting successes in areas as disparate as database privacy law, securities law, sovereign immunity, antitrust, insurance law, and defamation.

Over the past 20 years, Chuck has been selected by peers as a Fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, a Member of the Leading Lawyers Network, an Illinois Super Lawyer, and one of Chicago’s Best Lawyers® for commercial litigation. In 2015, he was appointed Visiting Professor at Vilnius University, Vilnius, Lithuania, where he taught “American Business Litigation.” He taught an updated version of the course in 2017 as a Visiting Professor at Turiba University in Riga, Latvia.

Currently, Chuck also serves as president of the Harvard Club of Chicago, the oldest continuously operating Harvard Club in the United States.
