Dykema's Business Development and Marketing Department Earns Three Legal Marketing Association Midwest Awards

Dykema, a leading national law firm, is proud to announce that the firm’s Business Development and Marketing Department earned three honors at the 2026 Legal Marketing Association (LMA) Midwest “Best of the Midwest Awards.” Dykema received the Keystone Award: People, Collaboration & Impact for its year-long Centennial Programs; the Imprint Award: Creative, Brand & Design for its “100 Years, 100 Stories” video series; and the Wayfinder Award: Innovation, AI & New Approaches for “Breaking Out of Traditional Learning: A Scalable Escape Room Framework for Attorney Engagement.”

The LMA Best of the Midwest Awards recognize outstanding work and professionals shaping the legal marketing industry across the region. With three honors this year, Dykema’s Business Development and Marketing Department has now earned 19 LMA awards since 2018, including 14 first-place designations, through recognition at national and regional levels.

The Keystone Award recognized the collaborative effort behind Dykema’s Centennial Programs commemorating the firm’s 100th anniversary in 2026. The firm’s yearlong Centennial programming included a wide range of initiatives celebrating the firm’s history, people, clients, communities, and future through special events, community engagement, digital storytelling, and other commemorative programs.

The Imprint Award honored Dykema’s “100 Years, 100 Stories” video series, a signature component of the firm’s Centennial programming. The series tells stories from across the firm’s first century through the perspectives of attorneys, alumni, clients, and others connected to the firm, highlighting the people, experiences, and moments that have helped shape Dykema throughout its history.

Dykema also received the Wayfinder Award for “Breaking Out of Traditional Learning: A Scalable Escape Room Framework for Attorney Engagement,” an interactive exercise developed for the firm’s Members Meeting in Detroit in June. The program used an escape-room-style format to create a more engaging and collaborative approach to attorney learning and participation.

The awards were presented during the LMA Midwest Summit & Awards on September 24, 2026.
