Dykema is a law firm founded in 1926. The firm has offices in various locations around the United States including Detroit, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. It currently employs more than 400 lawyers and lobbying professionals. With the June 30, 2008 acquisition of 53 lawyers from banking boutique Schwartz Cooper, Dykema's largest office is now in Chicago.

The firm is one of the largest Midwest-based United States law firms.[2] The firm's website indicates that it represents "individuals, publicly-held companies, hundreds of privately held corporations, limited and general partnerships, associations, hospitals and managed care networks, banks and financial institutions, and retailers."[2]Among other areas, Dykema has one of the larger automotive-related law firm practices in the United States.[2] The firm represents Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.[2]

Also substantial is Dykema’s banking and consumer financial services practice. For example, thirty percent of the firm's reported litigation cases over the last two years have involved banking issues.[3] According to the firm, it "provides counseling and litigation representation to financial institutions, including banks, savings and loan associations, finance companies, credit card issuers, mortgage bankers, vendors and retailers."[2] Dykema is also Michigan editor to the consumer financial services online publications HouseLaw and CarLaw.[2]

In August 2011, the firm announced its expansion into Charlotte, North Carolina, the firm's second office in the Southern United States (after Dallas).[4]
