Marcia is the founding partner of the firm’s Ann Arbor office and practices in our Ann Arbor and Silicon Valley offices.

After spending 15 years practicing in Silicon Valley, Marcia led the firm’s effort to establish a presence in the Midwest as the founding partner of the firm’s Ann Arbor office. Marcia maintains a robust company and investor-side practice in the Midwest while continuing her active corporate and securities practice on both coasts.

Marcia is committed to investing time and energy with entrepreneurs and investors from the incorporation stage onward. Marcia works closely with executive teams and boards on strategic decisions and then focuses on implementing the company’s plans as seamlessly and efficiently as possible. Her clients frequently report that they appreciate her strategic insights as well as her very practical, business-minded approach. Marcia truly enjoys working directly with her company clients and forms long-term relationships with her clients. As an example, many of her entrepreneur clients return to work with Marcia across two, three or even six different companies. Marcia’s work spans the entire corporate life cycle of companies, from the earliest stages to multi-billion dollar sale transactions or public offerings.
