Nichole Hunter has developed an extensive and diverse legal practice, with core expertise in corporate transactions, commercial real estate development, compliance and ethics, internal investigations, construction, and regulatory management. Her versatile skill set enables her to provide comprehensive legal solutions across a wide range of industries and sectors.

Nichole initially focused her practice on education and public administration, where she served as Legal Counsel to several school districts and charter schools. In these roles, she drafted and implemented board policies, provided legal opinions on complex educational and governance issues, and negotiated a myriad of contracts, including employment agreements, memorandum of understandings, food service, leases, purchase agreements, and professional services.

Her practice further expanded when she played an instrumental role in establishing a nonprofit corporation that assumed all the public health services from the City of Detroit's Department of Health and Wellness Promotion.

She regularly advises on corporate governance matters, including internal investigations into employee misconduct, waste, fraud, and abuse, ensuring that her clients meet stringent ethical standards while mitigating legal risks.

A certified mediator, Nichole has provided mediation services to several nonprofit organizations, including the Wayne Mediation Center and Community Legal Resources, where she has successfully resolved disputes across a range of industries.
