Ben Calkins: A Lawyer for Business Owners, By a Business Owner

Ben Calkins is an honors graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School. After law school, he clerked for a Federal Judge before joining one of the World’s largest law firms, Squire Patton Boggs. Mr. Calkins has also worked at, and been a partner in, several of the most prominent “old style law firms” in the world.

From the start of his career, he was committed to complete and total client satisfaction. One client at his first firm remarked that Ben was the only attorney they had ever met who consistently did what he said he would do—when he said he would do it—and for the fee quoted. That experience continues to inform and reinforce his approach to practicing law today.

In launching his own business law boutique, The Calkins Law Firm, Ben acted on his commitment to providing a combination of extraordinary expertise and vast experience, together with unsurpassed responsiveness and surprising affordability, for businesses and their owners.

Ben Calkins and his team at The Calkins Law Firm, Ltd. have assisted hundreds of clients in building and operating successful businesses and in resolving related business disputes. Practice areas of particular focus include business formation and planning, contracts and general corporate business advice, mergers, and acquisitions and corporate finance, real estate and dispute resolution, and commercial litigation and arbitration.

Ben Calkins is also founder of Fast Forward Business Advisors, Ltd., a business advisory that assists mid-market businesses with succession planning.
