We are a business law firm built for consequential moments—when owners need clear advice, candid judgment, and counsel who understands what is truly at stake.
Founded on Brenda J. Maxwell’s people-first vision and led today by Ethan Dunn, the firm combines more than five decades of continuity with a forward-looking restructuring practice.
Our work sits where law, finance, operations, and ownership meet. We listen for the real objective, confront the facts, and design a strategy that accounts for both the business and the people whose futures depend on it.
From Detroit, we serve businesses and stakeholders across Michigan and in matters extending beyond the state.
Ethan helps owners and companies navigate financial pressure across the business life cycle—from early strategy to workouts, Chapter 11, restructuring, and sale. His approach combines legal tools with an entrepreneur’s focus on forward motion.
