David Ross

David Ross's journey through the legal field is as dynamic as the transactions he expertly navigates. With a rich 27-year career that transitions from the contentious arenas of trial law to the strategizing tables of corporate law, David's legal expertise is both broad and deep. His knack for corporate law was discovered serendipitously when a friend needed help with an acquisition deal. In successfully closing that deal, David found his calling and has since been passionate about all facets of corporate law, from the day-to-day business contracts and legal planning to the complexities of securities transactions.

  • Restaurant Franchisees

  • Law Firms

  • Technology Companies

Within the corridors of Nolan Heimann LLP, David is lauded for his approach that marries 'by the book' diligence with 'real world' pragmatism. His experience, which encompasses leading commercial and marketing operations for Reel FX Animation while overseeing legal operations at Reel FX and brands like Shinola/Detroit and Filson, affords him a 360-degree view of the business implications of every legal decision.     

David prides himself on his ability to steer clients clear of pitfalls and towards their business objectives. His personal pursuits mirror the precision and strategic foresight he employs professionally — whether he's engaging in a vigorous game of tennis or hiking up a challenging mountain trail.

 As an avid music lover with a collection of over 800 albums, David appreciates the symphony of a well-conducted deal, finding harmony in the legal complexities that facilitate the completion of creative projects.
