Shareholder Ron Sollish has been elected president and chief executive officer of Maddin Hauser, effective January 1, 2026. A longstanding executive committee member and part of the firm’s leadership team since 2014, Sollish most recently served as the firm’s vice president. He was elected vice president in December 2019, officially assuming the role in 2020.
As president, Sollish will oversee the firm’s strategic direction, operations, and long-term growth, while upholding the firm’s commitment to exceptional client service and professional excellence. He has dedicated his career to Maddin Hauser, bringing deep institutional knowledge to the position.
Sollish takes over from Steven D. Sallen, who was president and CEO for 15 years after succeeding Michael Maddin in 2010. Sallen was elected president in December 2009 and successfully led the firm through some of its most challenging years, including economic downturns and the COVID-19 pandemic. Under his steady hand, Maddin Hauser enhanced its reputation as a premier, mid-sized law firm, enjoyed significant growth in number of attorneys, practice areas, and revenues, and, after almost forty years in the same location, recently relocated to its new, modern offices at One Towne Square in Southfield.
“This transition reflects the strength of our leadership team and the strategic planning that has gone into the firm’s long-term success,” said Sallen. “I have complete confidence in Ron’s leadership and vision. It has been my privilege to serve as the firm’s president and CEO these past 15 years, and I look forward to supporting Ron and the firm as we enter this next chapter.”
Sollish chairs the firm’s Corporate and Business and Employment and Workforce Management groups. His practice specializes in employment, real estate, partnership, finance, corporate, and business law. He has led the highly successful Employment Law Symposium and Breakfast Bites®: Employment Law Series for many years, drawing business owners and human resources professionals from across the region.
“I am deeply honored to lead Maddin Hauser,” said Sollish. “We are incredibly fortunate to have such a talented group of attorneys and professional staff. Steve was an outstanding president, CEO, and leader. I look forward to building on our firm’s strong foundation, growing meaningfully, and continuing to deliver outstanding results for our clients.”
A highly accomplished attorney, Sollish has received numerous accolades throughout his career. Michigan Lawyers Weekly has twice named him a Go To Lawyer for Employment Law and inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 2022.
Maddin Hauser marked its 100th anniversary in 2025, and focuses on real estate, financial services, bankruptcy, employment, insurance, and estate planning, including complex tax and asset planning.
