For nearly 35 years, I have been a general business litigator, with substantial experience in jury trials, bench trials and all forms of alternate dispute resolution.  Over the years, I have also developed considerable experience in handling complex estate disputes and legal malpractice cases and have extensive experience in dealing with disputes arising out of M&A activity and commercial contracts.  My cases have often involved extensive use of expert witnesses, particularly those involving business valuation, value of services and other complex economic issues. 

Apart from litigation, I have also negotiated mergers and acquisitions, documented complex real estate financing ventures and drafted a great many contracts.  For approximately four years, while a partner at a large multinational law firm, I also acted as outside general counsel for a mid-sized government contractor (approximately $500 million dollars in annual sales), including the provision of advice on all aspects of its business operations.

With the Butzel Long platform, my colleagues and I are capable of efficiently handling all types of cases, from multi-district class actions involving billions of dollars to relatively small contract disputes.
