His practice focuses on corporate and commercial transactions, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, corporate governance, regulatory compliance and other strategic business matters.

“Todd brings the perspective of someone who has spent decades sitting alongside business leaders, helping them navigate complex legal issues while advancing their strategic objectives,” said Miller Canfield CEO Michael Palizzi. “That experience will be enormously valuable to our clients. We are also especially pleased to welcome Todd back to the firm where he began his legal career.”
Roeser was an associate in Miller Canfield’s Corporate Transactions Group from 1999 to 2005, advising domestic and international automotive and manufacturing companies on mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, financing and commercial agreements.
