AREAS OF PRACTICE
 
We specialize in five specific areas of practice:

Risk Management and Insurance Consultation
This includes evaluation of pure risk facing commercial entities such as to buildings, contents, equipment, and computers, business interruption, and related areas. Also included is an evaluation of exposures that could lead to third party liability claims against businesses such as slip and fall exposures, product liability exposures, and the transfer of risk through leases and contracts.

Employment Law and Corporate Compliance
There are over 40 state and federal statutes that govern the employment relationship in Michigan. The task of maintaining compliance with such laws can be daunting. Our attorneys have considerable experience in advising employers on employment practices that are designed to minimize such exposures.

Administration of Association/Trade Group Legal Services Plans
Our law firm manages the legal services plan for two large associations with thousands of members, the Michigan Assisted Living Association (MALA) and the Michigan Association for Child Care Providers (MACCP). This service includes consulting with association members on legal issues and the review of key documents such as employment contracts and handbooks, job applications, leases, vendor agreements, and the like.

Insurance Coverage Compliance
Financial institutions and businesses with multiple contractors or vendors have a financial stake in the insurance standing of those they do business with. Understanding the insurance environment helps us to determine whether the coverage of a particular concern is adequate. We can facilitate changes to bring the insurance coverage up to the requirements of the client.

Expert Witnesses on Insurance Matters
Our attorneys routinely serve as expert witnesses on behalf of policy holders and insurers in cases involving insurance coverage issues, agent liability, and related areas.
