McElree | Smith is a full-service law firm that represents clients in trials and transactions across the United States. Founded in 1988, our firm brings legal expertise, business savvy, and practical know-how to every legal matter we handle. Our goal is to provide each client with innovative legal and business thinking that produces superior results.

We provide legal representation in a wide variety of practice areas that include real estate finance and development, banking and financial services, corporate, securities, and general business representation, mergers and acquisitions, commercial and securities litigation, energy, and tax. Our legal practice is complex and geographically diverse. We routinely work in tandem with in-house legal departments and business personnel, as well as local counsel, to meet our clients' needs.

While our practice is varied, our philosophy is uniform. We believe that our responsibility as attorneys goes beyond simply providing legal advice. We take our role as counselors just as seriously, always working closely with our clients to fully understand their businesses, financial objectives, and other priorities. We consider the legal issues within a broader business framework and from a variety of perspectives, taking into account applicable economic, accounting, and regulatory factors as necessary. This comprehensive, but practical, approach allows us to focus on finding the real-world solutions that are the hallmark of our firm.

Our dynamic legal services and business acuity have led to long-term relationships with a variety of clients. We have represented clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies and financial institutions to smaller, privately held companies and individuals on matters as complex as multi-tiered corporate transactions and national class action litigation.

At McElree | Smith, we have created an environment that provides the best of both worlds: big firm legal capabilities and small firm accessibility and responsiveness.
