“Hollywood is the one place in the world where you can die of encouragement.” —Dorothy Parker

With few detours, my firm, Hull McGuire PC, represents publicly-traded and often well known companies based in the US and Europe. We have the talent and drive to attract and keep big game, often in the automotive, steel, transportation and energy industries, so why not? We avoid individuals, even very rich ones, and also steer away from small to medium sized businesses. Both are often unsophisticated in the use of lawyers–they can’t tell great ones from good ones from mediocre ones–and that is not our idea of a good time. While all clients are treated very well (that’s an understatement), we’d rather answer to a General Counsel. No use in having your own firm and working your ass off with with smart lawyers unless you get interesting work from smart, appreciative clients. It’s hard, high-pressure work, but we love it.
