Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

core/heading

For nine years, Warner has been recognized by BTI Consulting Group as a national leader in client service among law firms in its “Client Service A-Team.” This is because we build better partnerships with our clients. Successful partnerships happen when all parties benefit from the relationship. At Warner, we’re intentional about driving benefits for our clients and our colleagues. And while many law firms say their culture, values and approach are unique, Warner has the proof that ours are refreshingly different and effective.

Every firm talks about the results they gain for their clients, but Warner continues to deliver remarkable value. Our representation of the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority on their $4.4 billion public-private-partnership (P3) is one example. The Warner team focused on all U.S. law aspects of the project working with more than a dozen governmental partners and stakeholders for more than a decade. We also recently obtained a $24 million judgement on a copyright infringement case, and for a NYSE-listed company, we led an $800 million M&amp;A deal. Further proof that Warner delivers results to our clients.

Warner builds a better partnership through diversity, equity and inclusion. Our DEI Action Committee features a diverse group of 30 attorneys and staff contributing more than 2,000 collective hours annually to drive DEI initiatives. The committee hosts firm-wide town hall meetings, employee resource groups, improvements in hiring processes and other action-driven endeavors.

“At Warner, we are driven to enact positive change rather than stand by and wait for it to happen. Doing the right thing isn't just what we believe – it's at the very core of who we are.”

We build a better partnership through teamwork, relationships, careers and community. It starts with our teaming and collaboration. Our “no gatekeeper” approach ensures efficiency in our client relationships, by ensuring the right person does the right task at the right time. This cooperation, transparency and openness are fueled by our desire to ensure that it is easy – and always productive – for clients to do business with us.

Entrenched in Michigan but working with numerous clients nationally and in countries abroad, Warner is the go-to firm for many clients in dozens of industries that have relied on us for decades. This mutual familiarity and trust lead to client relationships and representation that go far beyond duty – it connects to something much deeper, with more resilience.

“THE ESSENCE OF WARNER IS QUALITY SERVICE.”

The Conversations We are Having With Clients

Clients are concerned about being change-ready – which takes on different meanings to clients based on their particular industries. Our attorneys’ jobs across the firm are to help each client prepare for that change. Business, financial, compliance, cybersecurity and reputational risks are greater than ever.

Here is the answer to the question, “Why Warner?” It’s because clients quickly realize we make their people, issues and goals our top priority.

Industry experience is the entry point for Warner to understand our clients’ businesses, challenges, goals, projections and predictions. Our attorneys have been rooted in numerous industries for years, so we know where they’ve been and where they are going. This enables us to witness and comprehend the nuances of how our clients make decisions in their particular sectors.

Most law firms have a client billing/relationship partner or “gatekeeper” who controls the client’s access and activity within the firm. Clients have told us they find this limiting – and we have seen that it hinders diversity of talent and thought, and often increases both the frustration and cost of the relationship. To avoid this, Warner intentionally designed the compensation model for its attorneys to put the focus on client results rather than individual gain.

We Build Teams and Client Partnerships That Last

You may not require a team today – you may need only one partner who is experienced in the very thing you or your business needs. Many of our most enduring client relationships started just like this. We will tailor our service to exactly what you want and need and ensure that you have access to the right person, or team, at the right moment.

We Deliver So You Can Rely on Us as Your Trusted Advisor

Crises never arise at a convenient hour. Burning questions and brilliant ideas seldom do, either. We proactively bring you ideas, offer advice and answer the tough questions you face as you work towards your goals. We want to make your life easier – and being quick to respond is our first step.

We genuinely and sincerely care about our clients and the work we do for them. We work on your behalf to make connections, bring you business opportunities and do all that we can to help you succeed.
