Your Career at McGuire Woods
McGuireWoods is a global law firm with approximately 900 lawyers and 19 strategically located offices worldwide. Sharply focused on our clients, McGuireWoods ensures that all of the firm's actions are based on what will best benefit our clients. Tracing the firm's roots back to 1834, McGuireWoods has a long history of growth through mergers with predecessor firms in existing markets, as well as client-centered expansion into new markets. Working with clients to develop these strategies, we are able to keep pace with their changing needs – helping them meet their goals. This has been our philosophy for more than 175 years, and it continues to direct our endeavors as we look toward the future.
