How do I contact Microsoft's legal department?

I'm inquiring about contacting Microsoft's legal department directly.  I am in the workings of starting a small business.  When I came up with a name for the business, I noticed it was very similar to the "Reclaimers" from the Halo video game series.  I know that Halo is or at one time was a product of Microsoft.  My questions are as follows -- 1.) Would I be allowed to use the name "Reclaimed Interactive" without violating any legal boundaries.  2.) Would I also need to contact Bungie about this issue as well?

Thank you.

You need to contact a business lawyer, and they have the means to validate this for you as part of your incorporation, trademark...  Don't try and do this on your own you are asking for problems, seak the help of a professional to avoid any surprises.
