Our company engaged Mark Heusel at Dickinson Wright to handle a sensitive cross-border contract dispute with a former joint venture partner in Southeast Asia. From the outset, his deep experience was evident. He didn't just understand the legal principles; he grasped the intricate commercial realities and cultural nuances of the situation, which was invaluable given his leadership of the firm's China/ASEAN practice. His strategic guidance, honed over three decades, helped us navigate toward a favorable settlement without the need for protracted litigation. We particularly appreciated his recognition in commercial and labor/employment litigation, as our dispute touched on both areas. Mark is a true counselor. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, initial response times from his team could occasionally lag a day, but Mark himself was always thoroughly prepared and engaged when we connected. For any Michigan-based business facing complex commercial or international legal challenges, Mark is an excellent choice.
