Varnum acquires boutique litigation firm

One of Michigan’s largest law firms recently announced the acquisition of a small yet mighty Farmington Hills litigation boutique.

The leaders of Young, & J. David and Jaye have joined Varnum’s Birmingham office as partners. Two business professionals also made the move.

Jon Bylsma, chair of Varnum, said the acquisition further builds the firm’s litigation firepower in Southeast Michigan.

“We are excited to have YGQ join forces with Varnum,” Bylsma said in a press release. “Dave and Jaye’s exceptional trial expertise and proven track record of handling high-stakes commercial and intellectual property litigation align perfectly with our commitment to providing top-tier legal services.”

YGQ’s decision to join Varnum was driven by a shared vision and complementary strengths.

Quadrozzi said joining Varnum was a natural fit.

“The firm’s full-service platform, commitment to client service and deep roster of litigators across a multitude of specialties provides the resources YGQ needed to further deliver outstanding results for our clients,” she said.

Garcia, who joined YGQ in 1999, added that Varnum’s knack for trying cases and commitment to excellence made the merger an exciting step forward.

“We have always prided ourselves on being true trial lawyers who thrive in the courtroom,” he said. “We look forward to combining our expertise with theirs and continuing to achieve significant victories for our clients.”

Varnum’s Birmingham office had seven attorneys when it launched in 2019, and now has grown to 30. The firm now consists of more than 190 attorneys in six offices in Michigan and Florida.
