Honigman’s Kalamazoo office to move



Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP announces it will move its Kalamazoo office to 650 Trade Centre Way, the third of the Trade Centre office buildings. As the building’s first tenant, Honigman will support the continued growth of its expanding practices, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, venture capital, life sciences, intellectual property, litigation and real estate.

Trade Centre Way is situated along the I-94 corridor at South Westnedge where several of West Michigan’s leading businesses are located. Honigman will occupy the second floor as of March 1, 2018.

“Honigman recently represented tronc, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRNC), the parent company of the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, in the highly-publicized acquisition of NY Daily News. This transaction, which was largely executed from our Kalamazoo office, represents the sophisticated work that Phil Torrence, Jonathan O’Brien and our team of experienced lawyers handle for major Kalamazoo-based clients as well as clients across the U. S.,” said David Foltyn, chairman and CEO of Honigman.

“Becoming part of this visionary new development further reinforces our commitment to investment and growth in West Michigan,” said Phillip D. Torrence, Honigman’s Kalamazoo office managing partner.
Since opening 2008, the office has grown and now has 26 attorneys and 55 professionals making it the largest law firm office in Kalamazoo.
