Dykema maintains one of the most extensive trade and professional association practices in the country. The firm serves as national or regional counsel to more than forty industry and professional associations, both private and public. For several associations, we function as general counsel and secretary.

With a substantial presence in Washington, D.C., Dykema’s attorneys and non-attorney legislative specialists represent association clients before numerous federal departments and agencies and the U.S. Congress on matters ranging from regulatory compliance, litigation and rulemaking at the agencies to the full spectrum of legislative and lobbying services before Congress and the Administration.

With particularly strong credentials in Michigan and Illinois, our extensive state trade association practice provides the full range of legal services. Our practice includes representation of association clients before state regulators and legislators on various matters extending from licensing and rulemaking to litigation and lobbying. We also provide association management services for clients.

We also represent association clients in trial and appellate litigation, including as amicus parties.
