Detroit has retained Jones Day—a firm known for handling restructuring work across the industrial Midwest—as it seeks to fight the state of Michigan’s decision to impose an emergency financial manager on the Motor City.

Though Jones Day media representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the matter, Detroit communications director Robert Warfield confirmed that the city has hired the firm when contacted Monday by The Am Law Daily. In a prepared statement on the subject provided by Warfield, Mayor Dave Bing said that the "experience of the Jones Day law firm will be a valuable asset as we proceed with our plan for restructuring the City of Detroit."
