Bowman and Brooke is proud to share that Matin Fallahi, an Associate in the firm’s Detroit office, has been named a 2026 Up & Coming Lawyer by Michigan Lawyers Weekly. This recognition honors attorneys in their first 10 years of practice who have distinguished themselves as standouts among their peers and emerging leaders in the legal profession.
Matin is an immigrant and first-generation lawyer of Persian background. In her five years of practice, she has established herself as a critical asset to the firm and its clients. Her work includes managing complex cases and representing some of the largest automotive manufacturers in North America, including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, while also acting as Michigan counsel for a major automotive retailer.
This past year, Matin served on the defense team in a national headline-making Mercedes-Benz trial that resulted in one of the largest defense verdicts in Michigan. The case drew national attention due to the prominence of the plaintiffs’ family. During the nearly six-week trial, she handled pre-trial motions, trial outlines, strategy, demonstrative exhibits, motion drafting, and expert preparation. The jury unanimously found the vehicle was not defectively designed, delivering a complete defense verdict.
Matin is also deeply committed to mentorship, diversity, and community involvement. She was selected as a 2025 Pathfinder for the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, served two consecutive years as Vice President of the Defense Research Institute Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Steering Committee, and is active in Bowman and Brooke’s DEI Committee.
Her dedication to her clients, the firm, and the community, along with her accomplishments, is reflected in her work and service and supports her recognition as a Michigan Lawyers Weekly 2026 Up & Coming Lawyer.
