The form of business entity chosen for a business venture affects every aspect of its operation. Our attorneys assist our clients in formation and business planning in deciding whether they want to operate as a closely held business, limited liability company, partnership, corporation, or other Michigan entity. We advise our clients about directors' and officers' liability, dissolution, franchising, reorganization, trade association membership and activity, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, business succession planning, and shareholders' rights. Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling both transactional and litigation matters on behalf of businesses.

Our business and corporate law attorneys also provide ongoing, general legal counseling to businesses and their owners and officers; and concentrate in advising small, closely-held, and family businesses. Most businesses will face a variety of legal issues that cannot be anticipated; however, our corporate and business attorneys can add significant value to your business by identifying and planning for those legal issues that can be anticipated. We strongly believe that businesses receive the most value from legal services when used proactively rather than reactively. Some of our business law attorneys are also business owners and have first hand experience with the issues faced by small businesses.
