Andrey Tomkiw Adds Partner To Form Tomkiw Enwright, PLC

By Chad Halcom

(Orginally published here in Crain's Detroit Business)

Attorney and Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce President Andrey Tomkiw has formed Tomkiw Enwright PLC after courting attorney Steven Enwright away from Dickinson Wright PLLC to form the new firm.

The new firm, with two partners and two associates, completes a rebuilding phase that Tomkiw began when partner Daniel Dalton and the other attorneys of Tomkiw Dalton plc left to form Dalton Tomich Pensler plc in Bloomfield Hills last summer.

"Steve and I have known each other for some time, and this is a good fit since he is a known transactional and corporate attorney, and I do quite a bit of transactional work and some litigation," Tomkiw said.

"With my former partner, the practice he and his associates built was heavily religious land use, so there was a bit of a disconnect. This is more of a synergy, and I even worked with Steve on matters before."

Tomkiw, who began a second term as chamber president in January, practices labor and employment law, corporate work, enforcement of noncompete agreements and commercial disputes. The new firm also will handle a mix of complex litigation, finance, entertainment and media law and some general counsel work.

Enwright previously was of counsel at Dickinson Wright and in-house general counsel for the marketing firm Clear!Blue LLC in Birmingham.
