Detroit's Nemeth Burwell, P.C. Receives 2009 Michigan Economic Bright Spot Award from CORP! Magazine

Detroit-based employment law firm Nemeth Burwell, P.C. has been named one of Michigan’s economic bright spots by CORP! business magazine.

The firm was honored today in Troy, along with 49 other Michigan businesses, at the CORP! 2009 Michigan Economic Bright Spot awards ceremony.

According to CORP! magazine publisher, Jennifer Kluge, “Our state has reason to celebrate those companies who stand out from the crowd. They have made a conscious decision to stay in Michigan, despite opportunities to locate outside of the state. They have also experienced expansion and economic development.”

Nemeth Burwell, the largest woman-owned law firm in Michigan to exclusively represent management in the prevention, resolution and litigation of labor and employment disputes, was recognized as one of Michigan’s economic bright spots because it has been adding attorneys and support staff.

“We are pleased to be a part of an awards program that looks positively at Michigan’s economic vitality. Our firm growth has been from the ground up and not the result of mergers or acquisitions. We have been able to grow through strategic hires at our own pace, reinforcing that our strategy is the right one for the firm, regardless of economic conditions,” explains Nemeth Burwell partner, Linda Burwell.
