SOUTHFIELD, Mich. –Brooks Kushman is pleased to announce that shareholder Erica D. Klein has been recognized by BTI Consulting as a 2019 Client Service All-Star. This award is given to only 335 attorneys in the United States. The only way to be nominated is for corporate counsel to single out an attorney for client service exceeding all others.
Client Service All-Star results are based on over 350 in-depth, independent interviews with top legal decision makers from large and Fortune 1000 organizations. BTI Consulting has been interviewing C-level executives for decades and has determined five key factors that define a Client Service All-Star: superior client focus, unmatched client experience, understands the client’s business like no other, unparalleled legal skills and innovative thought leadership.

Klein brings more than 20 years of experience focused on the strategic development, management, and protection of intellectual property assets. Her practice covers a broad range of legal issues including trademark, copyright, social media, rights of publicity, and data privacy and protection.
