For half a century, the Mackinac Bridge has connected Michigan’s peninsulas. Before that, only ferryboats crossed the historic Straits of Mackinac.

Bagley argues that staying out of trouble is only part of the picture when it comes to legality in business. In Winning Legally, Bagley shows how managers can proactively harness the power of the law to maximize corporate val
