Corporate Law and Business Litigation

Legal Consulting, PLLC provides strategic corporate counsel and business-focused litigation services to entrepreneurs, closely held companies, multi-entity groups, and established enterprises across Michigan. We advise clients at every stage—from formation and growth to restructuring and exit—and we litigate decisively when a dispute threatens enterprise value, control, contractual rights, or operational continuity.

​

Legal Consulting, PLLC also serves as General Counsel and outside general counsel for multiple businesses, functioning as the “first call” and practical problem-solver for CEOs and executive leadership teams who need responsive legal guidance, risk management, and litigation-ready strategy.

​

This practice is led by Anthony J. Bologna, the Firm’s founder, whose counsel is informed by a rare blend of legal and operational leadership. Anthony draws from years of experience as General Counsel and a co-owner of a Tier 1 international automotive company, bringing business-minded judgment to complex legal problems. During that tenure, he was recognized four consecutive years as a Top Corporate Counsel by dbusiness magazine—experience that translates directly to practical, executive-level advice for Legal Consulting clients.
