Dickinson Wright Attorney Lawrence G. Campbell Honored with Excellence in Defense Award
Dickinson Wright attorney Lawrence G. Campbell is the recipient of the 2007 Michigan Defense Trial Counsel (MDTC) "Excellence in Defense Award".

The award, which was established in 1992, honors civil defense counsel who have over a number of years served as pillars of the defense bar. Criteria include professionalism, intelligence, creativity, judgment, personality, sensitivity, civility, advocacy skills, community involvement and efforts to educate younger attorneys. It is MDTC's highest honor, and among the most prestigious awards bestowed upon a civil litigator in Michigan.

"Inside and outside of the courtroom, Larry exemplifies a level of character, talent and professional achievement that few can claim," said James A. Samborn, Chief Executive Officer, Dickinson Wright. "He is a most worthy recipient of the Excellence in Defense Award. On behalf of everyone at Dickinson Wright, I congratulate him for this prestigious recognition. We are proud to be his colleagues. "

MDTC is the statewide association of attorneys representing the defense in civil litigation. The award recipient is selected by the MDTC Board of Directors, who review nominations submitted by MDTC's past presidents based on the initial selections of a nomination committee. Each year, the winner is announced on May 1, which is "Law Day" – a day of national commemoration of the U.S. legal system. The award is presented at the MDTC annual meeting in June.

He has extensive experience in handling business and commercial litigation matters, with emphasis in securities fraud defense, as well as accountant malpractice and contract disputes. Other areas of expertise include acquisitions, mergers, dissolutions of corporations, alternative dispute resolution and labor contract negotiations.
