Exciting news reports have been circulating the talks of a Detroit law firm looking into collaborating with a law firm in the Lone Star State. Together they hope to extend their legal industry lead and look forward to building a great business together. With both firms located in a big city, there is no doubt that a new flow of opportunities will come to them once their firms have settled down together. We are excited for them and wish them the best!
Detroit law firm Bodman LLP has opened for business in Dallas by affiliating with Strong & Willcox LLP, a Dallas firm.
Two
partners at Strong & Willcox have joined Bodman "of counsel" and
will work on transactions requiring a presence in Texas. Staci Strong
Heuvel and Misty Willcox will also continue working on non-Bodman work
at their own firm.
Bodman, a 140-attorney business law firm based in Detroit, is opening shop in Dallas to follow its clients to Texas.
"Establishing
a Texas office positions Bodman to handle more of their local legal
needs," said Bodman Chairman Ralph E. McDowell.
McDowell didn't name any names, but Comerica Inc. moved from Detroit to Dallas in 2007.
In announcing the Texas expansion, McDowell said Bodman aims to keep its billing rates low.

Capitol & K roundup: Lanny Davis starting own law firm
Lanny J. Davis, former special counsel to President Clinton, said
last week that he is organizing his own law firm, Lanny J. Davis &
Associates, to market his services to other law firms and to do work for
communications and political strategists on either side of the
political aisle.
In a release, Davis said he will remain closely associated with his former law firm, McDermott Will & Emery, continuing to service its clients and working with its attorneys. He said the new arrangement would allow him to pursue media crisis and public policy work with a variety of firms, including prominent Republican firms. He noted that he once served as a member of President George W. Bush's privacy and civil liberties oversight board.
"In today's Washington, there is usually no clear 'red' solution or 'blue' solution -- almost always, the best solution is a 'purple' or bipartisan solution," Davis said in a statement. "Similarly, there are often no purely legal solutions to legal problems either."
Davis is well known around town, and said he will continue to contribute to the "Legal Crisis Strategies" blog that he started in 2009 with his former colleague at McDermott, attorney Eileen M. O'Connor.

Shipman & Goodwin, Hartford Law Firm, Opens Washington Office
Hartford-based Shipman & Goodwin today opened an office in
Washington -- and the launch came with a major new client: The Hartford.
The Washington office will start with six lawyers, all formerly with Hogan and Hartson in Washington. It will be led by partner James P. Ruggeri, longtime national counsel for insurance coverage for The Hartford Financial Services Group.
"We join a strong existing litigation group and gain talented colleagues in Connecticut that will allow us to grow the practice and continue to provide first-rate service to The Hartford on a national basis," said Ruggeri.
Shipman and Goodwin, founded in 1919, has 140 lawyers. Besides Hartford and Washington, the firm has offices in Stamford, Greenwich and Lakeville.
"Our presence in D.C. will also be a further boost to other current firm practices with national reach, including health care, government investigations, petroleum marketing, export-import compliance and bankruptcy," said Scott Murphy, the firm's managing partner.
