P
eople do business with people
they like. The adage certain-
ly applies to lawyers and
law firms, but with one small yet
important variation – people do
business with people they like and
who know their business.
In the digital age, clients are
smarter and more business-savvy,
with a range of legal providers from
which to choose. Subject matter
expertise and industry knowledge
no longer distinguish one full-ser-
vice law firm from another. Today,
a firm’s culture is the real differen-
tiator.
“The individuals, business
owners, and corporations we rep-
resent assume we have the skills to
handle their matters,” says Steven
D. Sallen, president and CEO of
Maddin Hauser. “A central way we
continue to earn clients’ loyalty
and trust is by focusing on our
workplace and our community.
Clients see how we run our busi-
ness and are proud to call us their
law firm.”
Alongside highly experienced
professionals and staff, Maddin
Hauser’s talented attorneys handle
a wide range of litigation, trans-
actional, regulatory, and personal
legal matters. Over a nearly cen-
tury-long history, the firm has
obtained favorable outcomes for
clients in some of the most sub-
stantial commercial, real estate,
financial services, and insurance
defense deals and disputes in
Michigan. Pride in that legacy runs
deep, but in today’s fast-paced
world, resting on past accomplish-
ments means being left behind.
Maddin Hauser’s practice groups
and client teams don’t just keep up
with the law; they stay ahead of it,
anticipating business trends and
societal events that cause laws to
change and adapt. Lawyers and
staff collaborate to achieve each
client’s unique goals but are also
devoted to helping each other
enjoy lifestyle balance.
“We have become the employer-
of-choice for both new and sea-
soned attorneys looking for chal-
lenging and meaningful work on a
local, regional, and even national
scale,” explains shareholder and
executive committee member
Martin S. Frenkel. “Any one of us
could practice with larger firms
anywhere in the country. Instead,
we choose to be part of a smaller,
more dynamic, more value-driven
law firm culture.”
Part of the Maddin Hauser
culture involves an ongoing com-
mitment to celebrating the com-
munities where its people live and
work, starting with the firm itself.
Internally, the Success through
Empowerment and Engagement
(SEE) initiative honors attorneys
and employees from diverse back-
grounds and promotes inclusion in
the firm, the legal profession, and
society. Externally, Maddin Hauser
supports numerous civic and char-
itable organizations through vol-
unteering, philanthropy, and board
leadership activities.
“Care and concern are what we
do best,” says firm co-founder and
managing director Mark Hauser.
“We care about our clients’ needs
– often before our own – and we’re
always concerned about delivering
exceptional service and legal rep-
resentation. I don’t think we would
be able to do that if we didn’t feel
the same obligation to the people
who make our firm exceptional.”
