A Business Lawyer Can Be Your Partner in Success
We are clearly different from all the rest. Regardless of the size of
your business, we’ll represent your interests with unparalleled
commitment and expertise. Most significantly, we offer businesses what
many firms won’t – alternative fee arrangements designed to fit your
unique situation. With a Michigan business litigation lawyer from our
firm by your side, you will receive practical, efficient counsel.
Sommers Schwartz is the best choice to handle your business litigation
needs because, unlike large, associate-laden law firms with bloated
expenses and a one-size-fits-all billing model that promotes only
excessive hourly billing, our firm has sophisticated legal experience
combined with an entrepreneurial and flexible attorney structure that is
capable of shaping each engagement with the best incentive for a
successful resolution. The current hourly rates for the attorneys on our
business litigation team are among the most competitive in the
metropolitan-Detroit region. In addition to hourly representation, we
are always willing to review and analyze matters to determine whether
they can be handled by way of an “alternative fee arrangement.”
Specifically, we often handle matters on the basis of fixed contingent
fees, sliding scale contingent fees, or hybrid fees (reduced hourly rate
combined with reduced contingent fee percentage). Furthermore, where
applicable, we are willing to entertain representation on a “fixed fee”
or “capped fee” basis.

We Represent Companies Across the Country
Lawyers in our business litigation practice represent both small and
large companies in complex litigation. We have successfully handled a
wide range of sophisticated, multi-party cases in courts across the
country, offering the same caliber of service to entrepreneurs and
smaller companies that we do to major corporations.
We aggressively prepare and try a case from start to finish. Our lawyers
have not only tried lengthy cases to verdict but have also appeared in
many state and federal courts of appeal. Our expertise lies both in
identifying what rights our clients have and securing these rights by
all lawful means.
Business litigation is a complex branch of the law that can be difficult
to fully understand and manage without guidance from a legal attorney.
Contracts, partnerships, and taxes may seem like minor concerns but they
can become major sources of stress and worry if they are not handled
properly. Therefore, having a business law attorney on whom you can rely
and trust will ensure that all of your legal business matters are
attended to according to the laws that govern them. Tax benefits,
liabilities and the like can greatly impact the operation of a business –
positively or negatively – and the results will greatly depend on the
legal representation with which you choose to work. When a legal matter
arises that involves a lawsuit and possible appearances in court, you
want to ensure that you have the best legal defense on your side.
Sommers Schwartz can provide just this; with a reputation for the
knowledge and talent that can be found in each and every one of our
associates, there can be no question as to the professionalism and
dedication that will be applied to your business litigation matter.
We have the resources, the personnel, and the skills and confidence to
handle increasingly complex business litigation matters. Our experience
can benefit your enterprise, either as a plaintiff or defendant in
business litigation.
