Lewis & Munday, P.C.

Lewis & Munday was founded in 1972 by three African-American lawyers - recent graduates of Harvard Law School, Yale Law School and the University of Michigan Law School.

It was a barrier-breaking institution. Its goal was to take on traditional corporate civil work and public law, something denied African Americans in the past.

The timing was good. Detroit’s newly elected African-American mayor, Coleman Young, asked the firm to do municipal bond work.

Four years later, the firm had become the first African-American owned firm to be listed in the “The Bond Buyer’s Municipal Marketplace.” In 2001, Thompson Financial Company, a nationally recognized bond counsel ranking entity, ranked Lewis & Munday 16th nationally among all bond counsel. The firm rendered opinions as bond counsel on over $3.35 billion of municipal securities. In the same year, Thompson Financial ranked Lewis & Munday 20th nationally among all underwriters' counsel firms in the country. The firm rendered opinions as underwriters' counsel on over $2.22 billion of municipal securities. The firm has been consistently ranked in the top 50 bond counsel firms since 1990.

Public finance was the first building block. The firm now represents corporations, entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes and governments in litigation, real estate, corporate law and healthcare as well as public finance.

The firm is one of the oldest and largest firms founded by minorities. It is a leader and a role model -- something that it takes very seriously.
