David S. Senawi is an established business and civil litigation attorney. David concentrates his practice on complex commercial litigation of all types, including contract matters, shareholder and partnership disputes, cannabis litigation, real estate litigation, and also serves as outside general counsel to small businesses.
Prior to starting the firm, David worked for two medium sized litigation firms and was a clerk for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office. David has also been an adjunct faculty member for the law practice programs for Western Michigan University Cooley Law School teaching Pre-Trial Skills.
David earned his B.A in Business Administration from the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University, where he spent a semester studying International Business Management in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. He earned his J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School. As a law student, David was Vice President of the Student Bar Association, voted Best Litigator in the Intra-School Mock Trial Competition, and was honored with the prestigious Leadership Achievement Award upon graduation.
David is no stranger to business. He comes from a large family and community of business owners and applies his entrepreneurial background and business degree to all of his cases. Over the years, David has learned that each matter he handles and the personalities involved require a unique approach — one size does not fit all — and David refuses to practice law in cookie-cutter fashion. Every matter is different, every matter requires personal attention, and every matter is of significant importance.
