PRACTICE: With offices in Ann Arbor, Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Washington DC, Dickinson Wright offers 'tremendous service' whilst being 'reasonably priced', clients say.
The firm received praise from clients for 'being accessible', as well as boasting an ability to 'handle more complicated transactions' compared to most of the regional competition.
Thanks in part to its strong presence in Michigan, the group has been particularly visible in transactions involving automotive suppliers, but is increasingly developing a profile for its representation of private equity sponsors in M&A transactions, which sees the 42-lawyer mergers and acquisitions team working with colleagues in the private capital group. The majority of the firm's M&A lawyers are based at the head office in Detroit.
The firm has advised Active Interest Media in a string of acquisitions of publishing and trade show businesses including, most recently, the purchase of boat show organizer Yachting Promotions in March 2006.
CLIENTS: Dickinson Wright clients include DURA Automotive Systems, Active Interest Media, FANUC Robotics North America, Carhartt, Visteon Corporation, Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate and WY Campbell & Company.
INDIVIDUALS: Clients highlighted the group's strong technical expertise and 'can-do attitude', as well as its willingness to 'put the full resources on the deal'.
Richard Bolton, Bernadette Dennehy and Andrew MacLeod, all based at the firm's Detroit headquarters, are amongst the 'excellent' M&A team's leading lights, clients say.
The firm's Grand Rapids office was strengthened by the arrival of Carl Oosterhouse from Varnum, Riddering, Schmidt & Howlett in July 2006.
