Smith Haughey named one of Michigan’s “Economic Bright Spots”
Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge has been named one of Michigan’s “Economic Bright Spots” by Corp! Magazine.
The annual award recognizes 50 Michigan businesses for their success and focus on service, innovation, and utilizing Michigan talent. The firm and other recipients were honored by Corp! at a recent breakfast program in Troy.
With offices throughout Michigan in Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Traverse City, Smith Haughey is well-established in the communities it serves and continues to grow. A recent achievement is improved financial performance and no lawyer layoffs during a time when most law firms struggled. In 2010, the firm expanded its Ann Arbor office space and also moved into a brand new building in downtown Traverse City. In late 2011, the firm’s Grand Rapids office will move to the newly renovated, historic Flat Iron Building in the heart of downtown.
