We have built our reputation by helping clients identify opportunities, negotiate and close commercial transactions, win lawsuits and benefit from up-to-the-minute legal advice.

The primary goal of this website is to provide information on our services and our people in an easy-to-navigate manner. For those who don't know us, we have also provided some pages that describe how we incorporate values that are important to us - diversity, inclusion and commitment to community - into our firm culture.
Ever since the firm was founded more than 120 years ago, a guiding principle has been our commitment to excellence. We are pleased to occasionally be recognized for this commitment. Recent notable recognition includes:
- The Pillar Award (2010) from Women's Resource Center, in recognition of "noteworthy efforts to support women in our community." We received the award in part due to our groundbreaking Alternative Work Schedule policy for lawyers, believed to be one of the most generous at local and regional law firms.
- 21st Century Innovators (2008): The Women Lawyers Association of Michigan and Michigan Lawyers Weekly selected Varnum as the recipient of the 2008 21st Century Innovator award, in recognition of our efforts in attracting and retaining top talent. Varnum received the top honor among 21 finalists statewide.
