Can I Avoid Hiring an Attorney and Appear on Behalf of The Corporation in Court?
I am the owner and President of a corporation being sued in Illinois for over $10,000. Can I avoid hiring an attorney and appear on behalf of the corporation in court?
No. Illinois Supreme Court Rule 282 allows an officer of a corporation to represent the corporation only to defend small claims matters (typically under $10,000.00). A corporation must be represented by a licensed attorney in all other instances (e.g. as a Plaintiff, even in small claims court, and as a Defendant in any case other than a small claims matter).
