Bodman Launches Detroit Business Advocacy Team to Support Detroit Business Owners in Corporate Growth
02/03/25
Bodman PLC is pleased to announce that it has launched the Detroit Business Advocacy Team, a subgroup of the firm’s Business Practice Group focused on serving Detroit business owners.
The Detroit Business Advocacy Team’s goal is to assist Detroit entrepreneurs with legal and operational issues they face at all stages of their business’s life cycle, including formation, expansion, and future succession planning, so that owners can focus on pursuing opportunities for growth.
Detroit Business Advocacy Team members are active in various Detroit business communities and are frequent participants in Black Tech Saturdays and Michigan Black Business Alliance events including legal guidance workshops and networking opportunities. They often present to these groups on the importance of seeking experienced legal counsel when launching new business ventures.
Bodman Member David M. Walker, Esq. leads the Detroit Business Advocacy Team. Mr. Walker has more than 25 years of experience as a business lawyer. He maintains a broad-based corporate law practice with a particular focus on representing start-up and small businesses, including many technology-based businesses.
Mr. Walker began his legal career with Bodman in 1998 before relocating to Atlanta where he founded his own law firm and developed close relationships within the local startup community. He returned to Detroit and Bodman in 2024 and has since helped establish ties between organizations that seek to support Detroit’s vibrant small business community and their counterparts in Atlanta.
The formation of the Detroit Business Advocacy Group is just the latest development in Bodman’s commitment to the Detroit business community. The firm was founded in Detroit in 1929 and it has maintained its headquarters and largest office in Detroit to the present day. All members of the Business Advocacy Team are based in Bodman’s Detroit office which is located at Ford Field.
