Lansing— Dykema has appointed Jason T. Hanselman as Managing Member of the Lansing office.

Hanselman is a former president of the Ingham County Bar Foundation (2017-19), former president of the Ingham County Bar Association (2015-2016), and served as the Michigan Chapter Leader of the Republican National Lawyers Association from 2010 to 2020.
He currently serves as vice president of the DeWitt Board of Education and was appointed by Governor Snyder to serve as Unarmed Combat Commissioner (formerly known as the Boxing Commission) to regulate boxing and mixed martial arts in Michigan.
Hanselman received a J.D., cum laude, from the University of Miami and a B.A., with honors, from Michigan State University. Before joining Dykema, he worked at the Michigan House of Representatives, the Michigan Supreme Court, and the Internal Revenue Service.
In 2019, Michigan Lawyers Weekly named him among its Leaders in the Law. He has been recognized by Michigan Super Lawyers as a Rising Star, named a Michigan Leading Lawyer by the Leading Lawyers Network, and included in The Best Lawyers in America for Energy, Energy Regulatory, and Government Relations Practice.
