Hired by City of Detroit to Work on Its Restructuring
Jones Day has been hired by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing to serve as the city’s restructuring counsel. The Detroit City Council will still have to approve the contract with the law firm.

Jones Day has almost 2,400 lawyers in 37 cities and was ranked at number 7 in the Am Law 100 2012 list in terms of revenue for the year 2011.
