Jack A. Siebers
Jack Siebers is most commonly thought of as a business lawyer, although his resume and client list quickly reveal his expertise in the health care, insurance industry services and real estate acquisitions and development. Additionally he possesses unique expertise in Franchise Law where he assists franchisors with registration throughout the U.S. and the development and maintenance of their franchise distribution systems.
Jack Siebers' extensive business experience was gained during his 15 years as Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary of Foremost Corporation of America in Grand Rapids. At the time, Foremost was the parent corporation of Foremost Insurance Company and their stock was publicly traded on the NASDAQ market. In 1985 Jack entered practice as a partner with Dykema Gossett, Michigan's largest law firm at the time. In 1988 he formed his own firm, specializing in business and real estate law which continued until he joined Foster Swift in 2010.
In addition to his practice, Jack is very involved in his community including being a member of the Board of Directors of Fremont Insurance Company, The Gerontology Network, Words of Hope and Christ Memorial Church in Holland, MI.
