Lindsey Johnson and Jill Ferrari Named 2026 Crain's Detroit Business Notable Women in Law

Lindsey Johnson and Jill Ferrari have been named 2026 Crain's Detroit Business Notable Women in Law — and the recognition reflects more than individual achievement. It highlights the intentional work behind building the ELEVATE Practice Group to serve female founders and female executives across Michigan and beyond.

ELEVATE was created with a clear purpose:
To ensure women leading companies have sophisticated legal counsel that understands not only the law — but the realities of scaling, capital raising, governance, and executive leadership.

Too often, women founders and C-suite leaders are navigating:
• Capital raises and investor negotiations
• Complex governance and control issues
• Strategic growth decisions
• Employment and leadership risk
• Exit planning
— without a legal team built around their specific trajectory.

ELEVATE was designed to change that.
This recognition from Crain's Detroit Business affirms the importance of building practice groups that are intentional, strategic, and deeply aligned with the clients they serve.

To the female founders raising their first round.
To the women executives stepping into the CEO seat.
To the leaders negotiating equity, control, and legacy.
You deserve counsel that sees the full scope of your ambition.

Congratulations to Lindsey and Jill — and gratitude to the clients and community who trust us to walk alongside them.
