Expanding our vision... Moving into a new millennium

Our practice was founded in 1952 by Peter P. Price, who believed West Michigan industry deserved the benefit of a world class, locally based intellectual property law firm. Price, a former Boeing aircraft engineer and a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, was joined three years later by Lloyd A. Heneveld, a graduate of the University of Michigan and George Washington University Law School.

As the partners built their practice throughout the next decade, their reputation flourished. Major corporations from around the United States began turning to the firm with their intellectual property litigation. The firm also initiated an active international practice, which has grown with its clients' expanding visions.

Today, Price Heneveld^® represents clients from across the nation and around the world. The firm is involved in every aspect of intellectual property law, from licensing to litigation. Having earned our clients' confidence, we are trusted to provide thorough, insightful work . . . with satisfying results.
