Rex E. Schlaybaugh, Jr., Dykema’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, expressed his excitement over Cox’s addition to the firm. He said that Cox’s extensive expertise will further boost the firm’s litigation practice. “Mike has a track record of producing record-setting results and a wealth of knowledge in groundbreaking state and national regulatory matters. We are very pleased to welcome Mike to Dykema and are confident that he will be an invaluable resource for our clients navigating today’s fast-changing and compliance-driven state and federal regulatory environments.”
Cox, a graduate of University of Michigan, said that the main reason for joining Dykema is the firm’s stability throughout the years and its high reputation in the US legal community. “Dykema is the most forward-thinking law firm in the state. While other firms have been losing ground in the Michigan economy over the past few years, Dykema has been expanding its footprint on the state and national legal stage. I believe the work I’ve done for the people of Michigan as Attorney General dovetails well with the work I’ll be doing at Dykema for clients who need to understand many new state and federal regulations. I’m excited to be a part of Dykema’s talented team of lawyers.”
