Honigman to relocate Oakland County office
Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP (Honigman) announced Monday that it will relocate its Oakland County office to 39400 Woodward Avenue in the Pinehurst Office Center in Bloomfield Hills during the summer of 2011. Honigman will lease nearly 30,000 square feet on the first and second floors of the office building. The site also serves as the headquarters for Kojaian Management Corporation. Honigman’s current office location is 38500 Woodward in Bloomfield Hills.

“Kojaian is recognized as one of the best landlords in the area and the Pinehurst Office Center is one of the finest and most efficiently managed mid-sized office buildings in metropolitan Detroit, as well as one that is particularly well-suited for professional service firms like Honigman,” said David Foltyn, Chairman and CEO of Honigman. “We are excited about the opportunity to locate there to meet our current needs and to accommodate anticipated future growth.”

Honigman has nearly 230 attorneys in its offices in Detroit, Bloomfield Hills, Ann Arbor, Lansing and Kalamazoo. The firm has 37 attorneys working at its current Bloomfield Hills location. In the past six months, four attorneys have been added and the firm expects its growth in Oakland County to continue.
