Profile
Dickinson Wright has a proud heritage, a bright future, and an exceptionally diverse and experienced team of attorneys who have a collective commitment to exceeding clients' expectations.
Dickinson Wright was founded in Detroit in 1878 by two young lawyers, Henry M. Campbell and Henry Russel, and has since grown to be one of the most respected law firms in its region. With more than 240 attorneys and offices in Detroit, Bloomfield Hills, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, and Washington, D.C., the firm provides comprehensive legal services to a broad range of clients, from very large corporations to small businesses, new ventures, individuals, and governmental units.
The breadth of the firm's capabilities is reflected in the list of more than 40 practice areas in which its attorneys specialize. This exceptional level of expertise is matched by the firm's nearly 130 years of commitment to the service of each client. Dickinson Wright attorneys have represented many companies on the firm's client list for more than three-quarters of a century and, in a few instances, even longer.
Thirty-five Dickinson Wright attorneys are listed in The Best Lawyers in America 2007, a publication that is compiled by professional research company Woodward/White Inc. "Best Lawyers" is widely regarded as the preeminent referral guide to the legal profession in the United States. The list, which represents 80 specialties in all 50 states and Washington D.C., is compiled through a peer-review survey in which thousands of the top lawyers in the U.S. confidentially evaluate their professional peers.
Fifty Dickinson Wright attorneys are listed in 2006 Michigan Super Lawyers, which names the state's top lawyers as chosen by their peers and through the independent research of Law & Politics.
Dickinson Wright was selected for inclusion on a list of "Go-to Law Firms" selected in a 2006 survey of general counsels at the Top 500 U.S. companies. Less than one-half of one percent of all law firms in the U.S. and abroad were selected for inclusion on the list, which was conducted by Corporate Counsel magazine. The firm was also selected as one of the Top 100 Law Firms for Diversity in the 2007 edition of Multicultural Law magazine.
