We practice in offices in Grand Rapids , Metro Detroit , Muskegon and Holland , Michigan. In addition, many of our social events are designed to bring the members of our offices together on a regular basis, including a monthly staff meeting and dinner, promotion celebrations, a firm picnic, an international potluck at a partner s home, a golf scramble and holiday parties. Integrating technology with the practice of law is vital to cost-effective client service, and we are a leader in computerization.
Intranet permits efficient sharing of the collective knowledge and experiences of all our attorneys.
For several clients, we have established direct electronic mail connections to facilitate regular, timely communications. Additionally, voice mail enhances efficient communications between our clients and our attorneys. We believe we are one of the first law firms to establish secure Extranet sites for client communications. We are also using Extranets for communicating with internal and external transactional working groups. Our acquisition Extranet sites include, for example, readily accessible copies of the letter of intent, working group list, acquisition agreement drafts and timetables.
