I am an American lawyer licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and California. In private practice for 30 years, I act for large and publicly-traded corporations in U.S. federal courts and in arbitrations in the Americas and Europe. I grew up in Detroit, Chicago and Cincinnati, Ohio. I’m an honors graduate of both Duke University (B.A. History), where I was an
editor of Duke’s student daily, and the University of Cincinnati’s College of Law (J.D.), where I was an editor of Law Review. After serving as an aide to a United States Senator, and a Congressman, I left Capitol Hill and became an associate and later a partner in the D.C. office of a large American law firm. In 1998 I founded Hull McGuire PC, with three offices in the U.S. I’ve the highest possible Martindale-Hubbell ranking. I write a fairly well-known legal blog called What About Clients/Paris? I love to write--but clients come first. My firm, Hull McGuire, serves as counselors, advocates and litigators to a variety of Fortune 500, large privately-held and start-up companies generally headquartered in the United States, Germany or the United Kingdom. The practice ranges from planning, strategy and prevention to litigation and appellate work before regulatory agencies and U.S. federal courts, and complex arbitrations domestically and abroad in the areas of transactions and contracts, securities, IP, environmental, energy and legislative. In recent years, the firm expanded its practice areas to represent select business start-ups, established writers and artists and public figures in politics or entertainment. We are licensed or have been qualified to practice law in all key American states, and a in variety of jurisdictions internationally.
