About the Firm

Core Counsel PLLC was founded on the principle that legal strategy should be a foundational asset, not a secondary hurdle. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the firm provides sophisticated corporate and transactional legal services to entrepreneurs, established businesses, and other corporate entities.

We specialize in navigating the complexities of business lifecycles—from entity formation and governance to intricate contract negotiations and strategic transactions. At Core, the focus is on providing high-level, "outside general counsel" expertise that allows our clients to scale with structural integrity.

About the Founder

Anne Linder brings extensive experience in corporate law and transactional strategy to each client. With a background rooted in litigation and over a decade of corporate experience, she serves as a strategic partner to business owners who require more than just document drafting.

As a woman-owned firm, Core Counsel is particularly committed to supporting the growth of women-led enterprises. We understand the unique challenges of scaling a business and provide the legal framework necessary to protect assets, mitigate risk, and secure financial futures.

Outside of work, Anne can be found spending time with her family, including Ruth Bailey Ginsbark the golden retriever, skiing, seeking new wine and food adventures, travel, and rooting for the Michigan Wolverines.
