Commissioned Sales Representatives In Illinois Have A New Friend

Nov. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- The Illinois Sales Representative Act is a little known law which states that a principal who fails to pay a commission to a sales representative is liable for the commissions due, plus punitive damages up to 3 times the amount of the commissions owed to the sales representative, plus the sales representative’s reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.

Typical plaintiffs include real estate agents, real estate brokers, sales representatives and manufacturers representatives.  It doesn’t matter what product or service was sold, so long as the remuneration was commission based.

If you are a sales representative and are owed commissions, the law firm of Lustig & Associates in Northbrook, Illinois,  is highly experienced in this area and can help you collect any unpaid commissions and enforce the Act so as to recover attorneys’ fees and punitive damages.

Because this law firms primary practice focus is in the representation of small to medium sized businesses, they also regularly represent employers and principals who have been threatened with litigation.  The dual role that this firm plays in its representation of both principals and agents gives the attorneys at Lustig & Associates a unique perspective when it comes to prosecuting and defending these types of claims.

If you are owed commissions, the Illinois Sales Representative Act might be just what you need to level the playing field.
