Local Counsel Relationships with the Amaro Law Firm

What is a Local Counsel Relationship?

A local counsel relationship allows an out-of-state law firm,a law firm without a license to practice in a certain court, or a firm without any local presence to work with a local attorney on a case. These relationships can be for a specific case, as with a joint venture, or in a continuing relationship. The local counsel relationship gives the other firm access to local attorneys who are familiar with the local jurisdiction, roster of judges, potential opposing counsel, and local jury pools. Also, the local attorneys presence in a certain location may present more efficient means of handling a case which is in that area since they have an office and staff near the client or the location of the incident.

How Does a Local Counsel Relationship Work?

As with any co-counsel relationship, each party must determine if it is well-suited for working with the other participant. The firm seeking a local relationship will typically want to establish a relationship with a firm that is qualified, experienced in similar cases, and familiar with the jurisdiction. The local firm will also want to make sure they add value to the local relationship.
