Serving as Local Counsel

Michigan Trial Attorneys Experienced and Respected in Local Courts

For many years, our attorneys at Howard, P.C. have been a trusted resource as local counsel for numerous out-of-state and out-of-the-country companies and their in-house or corporate attorneys. We work with our clients and their lead counsel to determine how much involvement is required of our attorneys to produce the best results for them.

Because of the many cases our lawyers have tried, both as local counsel in Michigan and with local counsel throughout the world, we know the role of local counsel is never the same from one case to the next. We stand ready to provide as much or little local assistance as is needed to get the job done. We will file pleadings, provide advice on local practice and procedure, discuss our experiences with state and federal judges, research legal issues, aid in discovery, assist with motions, hearings or scheduling conferences, or help with whatever else is needed.

We know Michigan law, local court rules and judicial practices and are eager to share these insights with you. Our attorneys are known throughout the state and are often able to provide helpful information about opposing counsel and their tendencies, as well. Because much of resolving a case has to do with the people involved, we can help you gain a better understanding of how these people might affect your case, so that you can adjust your tactics accordingly.

Arbitration

Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in arbitration. While most contract disputes are governed by the terms involved and legal precedent, labor disputes and compliance issues often involve legal matters specific to Michigan state law.
