Plunkett is a highly regarded litigator and business lawyer with a national practice. He handles all aspects of commercial litigation, including contract disputes, shareholder disputes, land use and zoning, employment law and real estate matters. He is also an experienced probate litigator, including will and trust disputes. Plunkett’s broad range of experiences make him a trusted go-to source not only for litigation, but also for legal advice and counsel on a variety of business matters. Industries served include residential and commercial development, securities, insurance, tool manufacturing and distribution, automotive, and healthcare.
The Legal 500 Elite City Focus highlights leading practitioners who are shaping their markets and driving innovation in their fields. More broadly, Legal 500 U.S. Elite aims to highlight key lawyers operating as regional players across business centers in the United States. Notably, U.S. Elite seeks to recognize key U.S. lawyers outside global firms, opting to focus on those at regional powerhouses that may not receive comparable recognition in other rankings. U.S. Elite emphasizes lawyers who are handling work at the top of the legal market in their respective cities, states, or regions. The ranking is distinct from the main Legal 500 U.S. guide, with lawyers ranked by tier as individuals rather than as teams.
Plunkett joined WWRP in 2004 after spending 10 years as a litigator at firms in Chicago and Washington, D.C. He holds a Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the University of Michigan Law School and a Bachelor of Arts, with high distinction, from the University of Michigan. In addition to the Legal 500 Elite recognition, Plunkett is a multiple year recipient of Best Lawyers and Michigan Super Lawyers honors. He is active in professional and civic organizations and is a trustee of the Oakland County Bar Foundation.
