Andrew Erlandson is a shareholder with Hurley Burish, S.C., representing businesses and individuals in reaching creative solutions to complex legal problems. Andrew handles a wide range of commercial matters, including disputes within and between companies. He has spoken and written on a variety of topics during his career including intellectual property, non-compete agreements, shareholder oppression, “business divorce,” insurance coverage issues, loss prevention, and subrogation. Additionally, Andrew taught Trial Advocacy as an adjunct professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School for 8 years. When not practicing law, Andrew enjoys spending time with his wife and four children and, when time permits, the occasional round of golf.
I launched my mediation practice to assist colleagues and their clients in resolving complex business disputes, business breakups, construction and property damage cases, business tort cases, probate and trust disputes, and other sticky civil disputes that do not involve a marital asset disclosure or personal injury (OK, maybe bar fights, nasty neighbor conflicts, or some such drama in need of a solution). I am continuing my litigation practice as well.
