Press Release | Oct 28, 2024Commercial Litigator Valerie Stacey Joins Honigman as Partner in Detroit

Detroit - Honigman LLP announced today that it is expanding its Litigation Department with the addition of Valerie Stacey as partner in Detroit. Stacey, who will be part of the firm's Business Litigation Practice Group, joins from Jones Day.

Stacey focuses her practice on high-stakes commercial litigation and complex tort disputes in state and federal courts across the country, providing strategic guidance to clients in a variety of industries on high-profile, multi-million and -billion-dollar cases. From Ponzi schemes and residential mortgage-backed securities disputes to breach of contract and fiduciary duty claims, Stacey excels in ensuring clients' interests are protected at every stage of the litigation process.

"Valerie has a stellar litigation pedigree and an outstanding track record representing clients in a wide range of complicated disputes," said J. Michael Huget, chair of Honigman's Litigation Department. "Her experience in almost every aspect of litigation, including strategy development, client communication, fact and expert discovery, research and briefing, trial preparation, and more is a plus as she looks to collaborate with our growing Business Litigation team-in the Great Lakes State and beyond."

Stacey brings extensive experience crafting and arguing persuasive motions; conducting and defending fact and expert depositions; managing offensive and defensive discovery; and executing all aspects of the appellate process. In addition to her client work, she has an active pro bono practice counseling asylum seekers, including developing case assessments and preparing refugees for credible fear interviews, as well as first-chairing evidentiary hearings to secure restraining orders.

Stacey earned a J.D. from University of Michigan Law School in 2017 and a B.A., with honors, from James Madison College at Michigan State University in 2014. She started her career at Robins Kaplan, where she worked closely with experienced first-chair trial lawyers in the firm's Financial Fraud and E-Discovery practice.
