What is Local Counsel?
Local counsel refers to attorneys that represent clients in a city or state other than the client’s home state or the location of their business headquarters. The local lawyers represent the client in conjunction with their regular
legal team to make sure that they know the local rules and procedures.
For instance, a national company headquartered in New York or California might be the plaintiff or defendant in a case in Denver, Colorado. They might not have practical experience with Colorado laws, judges, or the Colorado legal system in general.
Colorado real estate law is not the same as the law in other states, and Denver has its peculiarities. Colorado creditor rights attorneys represent creditors from all over the country.
They are familiar with all the Colorado Creditor Law Practice Areas, such as Colorado real estate law and the legal process for bankruptcy and insolvency.
Does Your Business Need Local Counsel?
Are you facing or initiating legal proceedings in a Denver, Colorado court? Is your lawyer or legal team familiar with
Denver bankruptcy proceedings or Denver banking and finance law? If so, your case might benefit from retaining local counsel.
A local attorney can advise you of legal loopholes or unique contractual requirements in Denver, Colorado, that could affect the enforcement of your legal claims and collection of debts.
The law in any locality is constantly changing. Even if your attorneys have argued cases in Colorado before, they might not be up-to-date on the most recent precedents and changes in legislation.
