ROYAL OAK, Mich. – Brooks Kushman has been named a 2026 Michigan Top Workplace by the Detroit Free Press.
The Michigan Top Workplaces program recognizes organizations based on feedback gathered directly from employees through a workplace culture survey administered by Energage. For 2026, 203 employers across Michigan received the distinction. More than 85,000 Michigan employees were surveyed as part of this year’s program, with organizations evaluated and ranked among employers of similar sizes based on the strength of employee feedback.
For Brooks Kushman, the recognition reflects the collaborative culture the firm has built around its attorneys, professionals, and staff. The firm emphasizes working together as one team, creating opportunities for professional growth and maintaining an environment where employees can develop meaningful relationships with colleagues while contributing to the firm’s continued success.
Brooks Kushman’s culture is also rooted in connection beyond day-to-day client work. The firm creates opportunities throughout the year for professionals to engage with one another outside the office environment, with an emphasis on strengthening relationships and communication across the organization.
The Michigan Top Workplaces recognition follows another workplace honor for Brooks Kushman earlier this year. In August, the firm was named to Crain’s Detroit Business’ 2026 Best Places to Work 2026, recognizing its firm culture and internal programming. That program evaluates organizations across areas including communication, work-life balance, employee education, diversity, recognition and retention.
Together, the recognitions underscore Brooks Kushman’s continued focus on creating a workplace where its people can collaborate, grow and build lasting professional relationships while delivering sophisticated intellectual property counsel to clients.
