Local Counsel

Monaghan, P.C. has been a trusted resource as local counsel for numerous out-of-state or international clients and their in-house or corporate attorneys. You do not have to be a Michigan attorney to handle a legal issue in Michigan. However, there is significant value in having a local attorney on your team if you are engaged in a business or civil litigation matter in our state. As an established Detroit area law firm, our attorneys know the local jurisdictions, the judges, and other attorneys who practice here. We are also attuned to the business climate, the real estate market and other factors that may affect your case. We have extensive experience practicing in both state and federal court and can assist you in all pro hac vice admissions and local counsel matters.

If you are searching for a lawyer to handle your business or civil litigation matter in Michigan, or are an out-of-state attorney seeking local counsel, we are here to serve your interests. Monaghan, P.C. represents out-of-state businesses and individuals in a wide range of legal matters. 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 each case in unique, we know that 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, assist with discovery, motions, hearings, scheduling conferences, or help with whatever else is needed.
