We have one goal: to find practical, creative, efficient solutions for our clients.

• Business counseling: entity formation, employment benefit and executive compensation negotiation, corporate governance and ethics counseling, legislative and government relations, health care, and immigration issues
• Business and commercial litigation: class actions, professional liability litigation, antitrust, high stakes and "bet the company " litigation, employment, intellectual property, unfair practices, and securities
• Real estate transactions: banking and lending representation, securing financing — for leasing, site development, real estate and other ventures — zoning, tax assessments, environmental issues, and condemnation actions
• Tax law: business, non-profit, personal, estate, retirement, and pension tax planning, as well as state and federal tax controversy representation
• Estate planning and probate: estate, trust, charitable, and succession planning, estate administration, fiduciary and beneficiary representation, including assistance with guardianship and conservatorship matters

We are strongly committed to the highest standards of excellence. That is why major law firms often turn to us when they have legal problems of their own. We have successfully represented seven of the largest law firms in Michigan — which says a lot about our reputation and record of success.
