Since establishing our Raleigh presence in 2008 under the legacy firm Helms Mulliss & Wicker, PLLC, McGuireWoods has quickly become a mainstay in the Research Triangle Park/Raleigh-Durham area. Our remarkable local bench strength enhances our capabilities throughout the Carolinas and the United States, and helps us offer local clients access to the benefits afforded by our international breadth and practice depth.

We serve large, small and mid-sized businesses and financial institutions, as well as organizations from outside the area that have local legal and business needs. We offer clients practice area strength in the areas of financial services litigation, government investigations, energy and utilities, healthcare, higher education, climate change, product and consumer litigation, toxic tort, environmental litigation, and more. We also cater to the life sciences and biotech industries that are thriving in Research Triangle Park.
