General Info:
Launched two decades ago, the Southfield office of Warner Norcross is now our second largest office in the state. Serving clients in and around the Motor City and across the bridge in Canada, our attorneys handle a broad range of legal matters, from corporate and intellectual property law to employee benefits and litigation. With decades of combined experience, we serve Southeast Michigan from its premier business address. We are one of the few Michigan law firms to focus exclusively on automotive suppliers. We made the decision more than a decade ago, allowing us to become experts in automotive product liability, supply chain contracts, warranty and recall issues, antitrust and related issues from the lens of the supplier. This single focus allows us to be fierce advocates for suppliers when disputes arise with OEMs, and valuable strategic partners as the industry undergoes revolutionary change. We are deeply engaged in the supplier community, representing companies across the state and around the world that design the components and build the assemblies that power the vehicles we love to drive. We’re also focused on the next-generation of ideas and technology through our leadership in driverless cars, autonomous vehicles and drones. Our attorneys are leaders in the industry, with one of our partners founding and growing MICHauto, the only Michigan-focused automotive advocacy group. Our Southfield office serves more than just auto clients. We also counsel health care providers, hospitals, banks and financial institutions, investment fund advisors, insurance brokers and agents, home builders and real estate developers, manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies – and more. Our growing IP practice helps clients protect their intellectual property, from medical devices to sports equipment to polymers. In fact, we’ve even obtained international trademark protection for the unique face paint of a famous rock band. Our employee benefits practice has a significant presence here, and is considered one of the most sophisticated in the state. In addition, we are developing cutting edge capabilities in augmented reality and cybersecurity. We also represent individuals on some of their most important issues ranging from family law matters to trust and estate and complex tax matters.
