Downtown-based Miller Canfield opens new office in Mexico

Miller Canfield is opening a new office in Mexico, its 17th in the law firm’s 157-year history.

Miller Canfield’s new office in Monterrey is aimed to generate more business from the area’s burgeoning industrial and business communities. The new office will have two senior Mexican attorneys and one U.S. attorney. It plans to hire two more attorneys for that office.

"Mexico and Detroit are very closely interlinked economically in both automotive and other companies," says Richard Walawender, director of the corporate group for Miller Canfield. He called Monterrey a "natural complement to Detroit."

The downtown Detroit-based company has offices all around the world. They includes seven offices in the Michigan, three others in the U.S. and seven more elsewhere in the world.
