A trusted advisor for our complex corporate acquisition

Harvey Koning provided exceptional counsel during our company's recent acquisition of a smaller competitor. His deep experience, particularly his recognized expertise in corporate and finance law, was immediately apparent. He navigated complex regulatory and financing issues with a steady hand, and his 35 years of practice meant he had a practical solution for every hurdle. We felt completely secure with him at the helm. While his billing rates reflect his top-tier status at Varnum, and there were occasional delays in email responses during the busiest phases, the overall value and outcome were outstanding. For high-stakes corporate matters in Grand Rapids, Harvey is an excellent choice.
