Mark Chutkow Recognized by Crain’s Detroit Business as a 2025 Notable Litigator and Trial Attorney

Dykema, a leading national law firm, is proud to announce that Crain’s Detroit Business has selected Mark Chutkow as one of its 2025 “Notable Litigators and Trial Attorneys.” Chutkow’s profile can be found on the Crain’s website.

Crain’s Detroit Business’s Notable Litigators and Trial Attorneys list honors leading attorneys who currently serve in a leadership position at their firm and demonstrate involvement in significant litigation and trial proceedings.

According to the publication about those selected:

Litigators and trial attorneys are powerhouses inside and outside of the courtroom. They navigate complex, high-stakes cases that take months of research, preparation and coordination by teams of attorneys and legal assistants. These attorneys are constantly honing their strategies to secure a win for their clients — whether it's in negotiating a settlement or presenting the case to judge and jury at trial. Even with their consuming roles, many of them serve in organizations that advance their profession and epitomize all that the Latin phrase pro bono — “for the public good” — represents.

Chutkow is seen as the crisis counsel of choice for officers, directors, boards, and executives, and because he is based in Michigan, he brings deep local experience and presence that cannot be replicated by out-of-state lawyers with little or no familiarity with the region’s investigators, prosecutors, judges, and juries.

Chutkow earned a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School and a B.A., cum laude, from Yale University.
