About Bruce
Bruce Lewitas built his academic foundation across three institutions and two fields. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Advertising from Michigan State University in 1983. He returned to the classroom later and received a J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1991. He completed an M.B.A. at the University of Chicago in 1996, where he studied finance and accounting.
Those credentials framed the early shape of his professional life. After law school he moved into practice where legal questions often intersected with business and financial concerns. Over time he navigated both transactional work and issues that required analysis of financial documents and corporate structures. He has maintained professional memberships throughout his career.
Lewitas has worked inside and outside traditional firm settings. His background in communications from Michigan State informed an early interest in how complex legal concepts are explained to clients and counterparties. The law degree provided the doctrinal grounding. The subsequent M.B.A. added tools for dealing with balance sheets, capital structures and financial reporting. Taken together, the three degrees produce a particular steadiness when advising on matters that straddle law and finance.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in his approach. He tends to favor clear written work product and careful preparation. These habits show up whether he is drafting agreements, reviewing corporate records, or preparing for negotiations. He also places value on practical problem-solving. That orientation shapes how he manages client interactions and case strategy.
Today he practices at Lewitas Hyman PC. The firm environment reflects the mix of disciplines that have occupied his career: legal analysis, business realities and the mechanics of transactions. He continues to participate in professional organizations and maintains contacts across legal and business communities.
Outside the office, his training in communications and finance informs how he frames issues for clients and teams. He prefers to break technical material into clear pieces and to highlight the practical choices available. His practice draws on the combined strengths of his degrees and long experience in matters that require both legal judgment and financial literacy.
He is currently of counsel at Lewitas Hyman PC, handling matters that draw on his legal and financial training.
