In January 1990, we opened an office in Holland, Michigan. This location allows us to serve our shoreline area clients more efficiently and enables us to provide a broad range of legal services to the growing businesses in that community. With ten attorneys, the Holland office offers the unique combination of the collegial atmosphere of a smaller firm with a challenging, sophisticated practice supported by the resources and technology of the entire firm.
Holland is one of Michigan's greatest "beach towns." Located on Lake Michigan and wrapped around Lake Macatawa, Holland boasts a variety of year-round outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, swimming, bicycling, camping, golfing, cross-country skiing and festivals for every season. The recent Special Millennium Edition of Places Rated Almanac ranks the Holland/Grand Rapids/Muskegon area third in the nation for recreational opportunities. Holland has received the national designation of "All America City," a much sought-after award given annually to ten cities by the National Civic League. In granting the award, the League assesses a city's economic base, school systems, community and youth programs and development. Money magazine recently stated that Holland "has it all: top-notch health care, loads of culture, lots of green space – and everything else the most desirable places in America have. Except high taxes."
Located in Holland is Hope College, a major supporter of the arts, with its Great Performance Series concerts, the Summer Repertory Theater, an art films theater and an art gallery. The school recently completed a $50 million arena and convention facility that features a performing arts center, a basketball stadium and a double hockey rink. The new downtown Arts Center functions as a gallery for local and touring exhibitions and coordinator for the Bridging Cultures Celebration, a multi-arts festival held in nearby Centennial Park. The annual Tulip Time Festival draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the country, making it the fifth largest festival in the nation. More than 85 unique restaurants, galleries, quaint cafés and farm markets add to an enjoyable day of shopping in Holland's Victorian-styled downtown, which borders the Hope College campus.
The city has a strong, diverse base of business and industry. A new industrial park, construction of several hotels and the Haworth Convention Center, airport expansion and extensive refurbishing of the downtown area serve as indicators of Holland's recent growth and expansion.
