About

Provided by Honigman LLP

Honigman was formed as a corporate law firm over 75 years ago. The firm was built on a work ethic commensurate with the times and an unwavering commitment to excellence. At that time, most of the firm’s clients were based in and around Detroit, Michigan, the automobile capital of the world. 

Today, we enjoy a diverse corporate practice encompassing the wide array of skillsets necessary to help enterprises and their constituents thrive, and we serve clients around the globe. But, from acquisitions and securities, to tax and employee benefits and all other disciplines in between, two constants have remained throughout our history: our dedication to hard work and our unwavering commitment to excellence. 

A substantial number of our 140 corporate attorneys are devoted to Mergers & Acquisitions, including Private Equity. Honigman consistently ranks among the most active law firms nationally based on completed transactions.
