John F. Youngblood

John F. Youngblood’s corporate law practice is focused on counseling business entities and their ownership and management on a wide variety of day-to-day issues, along with the more significant “bet the company” issues. He likens his role to that of the typical general counsel employed full-time by a business, but he achieves the same results as an outside general counsel for the organizations he works with. He counsels clients on a wide range of issues and often engages other attorneys at Dawda Mann when the issues require the input and involvement of highly qualified specialists in various disciplines within the law, such as commercial property acquisitions or sales, complex financing transactions, litigation, environmental issues, taxation, and personal estate planning.

While he has a clientele engaged in a wide range of business types, his corporate practice has a significant focus on the retail motor vehicle business and related entities. He represents an extensive number of individual and multi-dealership enterprises, including some of the largest sales volume dealerships in the country. He routinely represents clients in the negotiations of the sale and purchase of dealerships. His clients also include several dealer line group advertising associations throughout Michigan and neighboring states.
