Diverse resources for diverse cases
Clients depend on MG+M to represent them in the full spectrum of business and commercial litigation, as well as investigations of all kinds. We handle virtually every type of business and commercial dispute, including complex contracts, antitrust, M&A, shareholder disputes, securities, construction, intellectual property, employment, bankruptcy, real estate and environmental. We also handle eDiscovery, cyber-security and information governance for some of the largest energy, food service, and manufacturing companies in the world. MG+M's litigation prowess places us on a unique footing to mobilize our teams quickly, thoroughly investigate and advise with an eye toward the practical and minimizing business disturbance, and ideally resolve efficiently and discretely—but be fully prepared for and capable of litigating. By putting the resources of our entire firm at your disposal, we ensure that a team with on-point experience will be assigned to your case.

Trial-tested experience
Although we are committed to finding business solutions, we are, at our core, trial attorneys. We meticulously investigate every aspect of your dispute and advise you on the strengths and weaknesses of your claims and defenses throughout the matter's lifetime. We do not sugar-coat anything. We frankly advise you on risks and provide efficient and creative ways to minimize those risks as the matter proceeds. Working as your partner, we are constantly engaging in an analysis of the best path to victory—whether by motion, settlement, or trial. When cases do proceed to trial, your case will have been fully prepared in every aspect and your team of trial-tested attorneys and professionals will be more than capable of making the most persuasive arguments to judges and juries.

Responsive and invested
We pride ourselves on providing the highest possible level of service, with 24/7 availability and responsiveness. MG+M attorneys take the time to understand your business and your goals for the matter. All members of your MG+M team will work closely with you to develop and execute strategies and keep you fully apprised of developments in your case. We become personally involved in our clients’ success, often forming counseling relationships that last for decades.
