Bodman clients demand the best. We, in turn, are laser-focused on providing the highest quality legal services to clients in Michigan, across the United States and around the world.
Our clients are an exclusive club: individuals and institutions with big ideas and big achievements. For more than 75 years, they have trusted us to serve as their strategic business partner. In exchange, we have offered them the insight, experience and value they need to succeed.
We treasure long-term client relationships above short-term gain, and we nurture those relationships very carefully. We work to understand our clients’ businesses and the markets in which they operate. This enables us to provide both strategic advice and preventative counsel to address potential issues efficiently and discreetly before they become significant and expensive problems. We deliver on our promises with quality, integrity and knowledge.
The power of our approach is clear in the extraordinarily long-term relationships we have. For instance, we have represented the interests of the Ford family continuously since 1927. We have represented Comerica Incorporated and its predecessor, Manufacturers National Bank of Detroit, since we helped found Manufacturers in 1933.
Finally, we practice what we preach. Bodman is a well-managed firm with a stable, collegial, and inviting work environment. As a result, we enjoy unusually low attorney turnover. Our clients benefit from the continuity of superior service and close relationships managed by experienced attorneys.
True measures of business success – respect, leadership, ability to deliver – remain constant over time. Our strong record of achievement and unparalleled client satisfaction have made us a trusted and valued partner. We are the essence of BlueChip.
