Overview
Foster Swift’s Small Business Team provides legal services to more than 500 Michigan-based small businesses that operate in a wide range of industries. A common misconception among non-clients is that our firm is "too big" to handle small business matters.

While controlling costs, the Virtual Corporate Counsel service allows clients to proactively tackle legal needs and avoid problems.
