Kemp Klein is Sponsoring the 2024 Annual Oakland County Bar Foundation's Fellows Reception
The Fellows Reception honors those who support the charitable works of the OCBF. Membership in the Fellows program is evidence of professional distinction and constitutes a professional honor. The number of Fellows is limited to less than 10 percent of the total active membership of the State Bar of Michigan who practice in Oakland County. In order to become a Fellow, you must be nominated by a current OCBF Fellow. This is an invitation-only free event for members of the OCBF Fellows program.

Kemp Klein's Core Values
A company’s core values are the standards that guide its business.
Creating our core values was an instructive and reflective process for our firm. I urge leadership teams to develop a similar document to coalesce their values. This centralized focus will galvanize the team and move it forward with a common objective.
Our core values effectively summarize why Kemp Klein exists, what we stand for and what we hope to achieve. Our core values are also intended to influence and direct our firm’s culture.

December at Kemp Klein
December is an especially busy time of the year for us here at Kemp Klein. Despite the end of year legal needs of our clients, we also enjoy taking time to celebrate the holidays and have fun with our team. We’ve had parties and special lunches, a cookie contest and arranged a mobile barista service to help fuel us up. I hope that everyone can take some extra time this month to spend with friends and family, making memories to hold onto into the new year.
