Documented engagements include a $7.35M-plus settlement for Ottawa Towers in a City of Pontiac eminent domain dispute, the facilitation of Garden Fresh Salsa Company's $231M asset sale to a Campbell's Soup subsidiary, and amicus participation in the U.S. Supreme Court case Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus LLP.

The firm operates a sales-led, referral-driven go-to-market model built on individual attorney reputations, peer recognition (Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, DBusiness Top Lawyers), and thought-leadership channels that include 12+ practice-specific blogs, an annual Tax Symposium in its 34th year, a Breakfast Bites® CLE series, a YouTube channel, and the Forward Focus podcast. Its single disclosed proprietary asset is the trademarked Result Focused Case Management System®, a methodology developed for the Professional Liability Defense and Insurance Coverage practice group. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through billable hours, fixed fees, contingency arrangements, and retainer agreements, with client payment facilitated via LawPay.

Customers are segmented horizontally between (1) business and corporate clients — mid-market and enterprise firms requiring complex commercial litigation, corporate transactions, real estate development, employment compliance, financial services litigation, and franchise/distribution work — and (2) individual and family business clients relying on the firm for estate planning, probate litigation, business succession, and tax matters. Geographic reach is described as spanning Michigan, the broader United States, Canada, and internationally, with referrals also channeled through membership in a multi-firm Law Firm Alliance network. Leadership includes President and CEO Ronald A. Sollish (also Chairman of Corporate/Employment practice), with Steven D. Sallen referenced as President in connection with major representations.
