Kirk W. Morgan

For more than 10 years, Kirk Morgan has served as a valued legal advisor and counselor to businesses, and health care providers on transactional matters such as joint ventures, contract negotiations, business formation, partner buyouts, technology licensing, corporate governance, and mergers and acquisitions. He is regularly called upon to draft, review, and negotiate agreements such as buy-sell, service, and employment agreements. His clients include hospitals, physician groups, telecommunications companies, nonprofit organizations, manufacturers, and other businesses. He helps business owners minimize risk and protect their assets through counseling on issues such as insurance coverage and estate planning.

In addition, Kirk represents financial institutions and borrowers in the review of complex banking, loan, and other finance documents. He has experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating banking credit facility transactions. In September, he completed negotiations with a large national bank and was successful in securing a $10 million line of credit for his client. His health care experience includes the negotiation of transaction documents for health care clients such as St. Catherine's Medical Center in Ashland, Pennsylvania and Gerber Memorial Hospital in Fremont, Michigan. For Gerber, he was involved in the review and negotiation of bank bond documents. His experience includes handling loan documents ranging in value from $250,000 to $10 million.

When matters end up in court, Kirk's clients benefit from his extensive experience as a trial attorney. He has tried cases and argued motions before judges and juries in courts throughout Western Michigan.

“I believe that timeliness, work quality, and industry knowledge is critical when it comes to helping my clients achieve their goals. I always strive to get the best end-result for a client. That, along with a dedication to efficiency and accessibility, builds trust. And trust creates long-term clients.”
