My practice is concentrated in representing employers and entrepreneurs in all aspects of employment and business law including severance, termination issues, non-compete disputes and in issues involving the protection of proprietary information. I negotiate and draft executive and employee employment contracts and severance agreements which may include protection for intellectual property rights, trade secrets, and confidential information as well as non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. A significant portion of my complex business litigation experience has been in business break-ups, corporate and partnership dissolutions, shareholder disputes and related valuation issues. I have argued appellate cases in the Michigan Supreme Court, the Michigan Court of Appeals as well as the United States Courts of Appeals for the Sixth and Seventh Circuits.
