The business community recognizes the importance of forming relationships with Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Woman Business Enterprises (WBE). Dickinson Wright is a long-standing leader in representing minority- and woman-owned companies and helping them form, finance, and operate successful business ventures.

Some of the minority business practice’s areas of expertise include:

• Assisting clients throughout the process of MBE and WBE certification, including: counseling on certification requirements and pitfalls; structuring deals; preparing and reviewing applications and supporting materials.

• Drawing on our broad experience in corporate financing to provide assistance to MBEs and WBEs in this area.

• Helping organizations explore relationships with MBEs and WBEs for specific business opportunities.
