Detroit based law firm Dickinson Wright has spent over 135 years serving clients in the Detroit area, as well as its satellite locations throughout Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Tennessee, and Canada. As a full service law firm, Dickinson Wright provides specialized knowledge, at an expert level, in more than 40 practice areas, enabling them to effectively meet the needs of their clients.
While the firm serves various types of clients, its work with small and emerging businesses was of particular interest to Nashville NAWBO. “At Dickinson Wright, we have the resources available to handle business related issues, before your business gets into trouble,” says Autumn Gentry, partner at one of the two Dickinson Wright Nashville offices and current Chair of Membership for Nashville NAWBO. “I encourage women business owners to consider hiring an attorney in the early stages of forming their businesses so that errors don’t lead to litigation that could have been prevented.”
Gentry also serves as the Captain of the Dickinson Wright Women’s Network, Nashville Chapter, which launched in September of this year. Originally created as a forum for female attorneys to discuss the challenges of running their practice without the fear of career backlash, the Network has expanded its reach, opening the dialogue to women in business from various industries.
“Much like NAWBO, the Dickinson Wright Women’s Network provides that safe place for women to vent their frustrations,” says Gentry. “I’ve benefited from those discussions, having gained tremendous insight and guidance from women who’ve already climbed those mountains. I’m confident that this partnership will continue to make resources available for both groups.”
Nashville NAWBO is honored to have the support of Dickinson Wright, our newest Corporate Partner.
