When executives in Detroit, builders in Novi, or founders in Ann Arbor confront a high-stakes legal problem, they look for counsel that understands the region’s business climate and can win in court. Tishkoff has built its reputation on doing exactly that. From formation advice to bet-the-company trials, we deliver seasoned advocacy across the core areas of business & construction litigation that drive commerce and construction in Southeast Michigan.
Please note this blog post should be used for learning and illustrative purposes. It is not a substitute for consultation with an attorney with expertise in this area. If you have questions about a specific legal issue, we always recommend that you consult an attorney to discuss the particulars of your case.
A Proven Business-Litigation Team
Contracts unravel, partners disagree, and competitors overstep. Tishkoff structures entities, negotiates deals, and—when prevention fails—litigates shareholder, contract, and fiduciary disputes in state and federal courts. Tishkoff’s commercial-litigation bench is deep, and our track record in “mission-critical” cases has earned us recognition as a premium business-litigation firm in Michigan.
Construction Law and Fast-Track Lien Enforcement
Missed draws or defective workmanship can stall a project overnight. At Tishkoff, we file and foreclose construction (mechanic’s) liens, prosecute payment-bond and delay claims, and defend against defect allegations—often on compressed timetables that demand immediate action. Tishkoff’s lawyers represent owners, developers, GCs, subcontractors, suppliers, and design professionals, tailoring strategy to each role on the jobsite. Early contract review and risk assessments help clients avoid disputes; when litigation is unavoidable, we move quickly to protect schedule and cash flow.
Real-Estate Counsel with a Courtroom Edge
Real-estate transactions in business & construction litigation in Metro Detroit and the Ann Arbor corridor are fast-moving and capital-intensive. Tishkoff guides purchases, sales, and developments; handles zoning, land-use, and title issues; and litigates contract, warranty, and fraud claims for property owners, developers, and lenders. Because our lawyers collaborate daily, clients benefit from seamless advice that anticipates—and resolves—overlapping risks.
Employment Law for Employers and Employees
Workplace disputes are personal, public, and expensive. We at Tishkoff counsel businesses on compliance and policy design, negotiate executive and severance agreements, and defend (or prosecute) claims involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage-and-hour violations, and restrictive-covenant breaches. Representing both sides in business & construction litigation sharpens our insight into the pressures and leverage points that drive resolution.
Complex Civil & Personal-Injury Litigation
Catastrophic losses in business & construction litigation—whether a commercial tort or a severe personal-injury case—require meticulous investigation and trial-tested strategy. Tishkoff’s litigators pursue negligence, products-liability, and wrongful-death claims for plaintiffs, and defend businesses against high-exposure suits, always preparing every matter for the appellate path that often follows a hard-fought verdict.
Why Businesses and Builders Choose Tishkoff
Trial-ready from day one. We map evidence, deadlines, and settlement ranges in the opening weeks, forcing opponents to negotiate from a position of weakness rather than delay.
Boutique focus, statewide reach. Senior lawyers are directly involved in your case, while our docket spans courts throughout Michigan and, when necessary, beyond.
