“When we researched McGlinchey, everything we read was so positive. We thought, wow, they had a plan, they executed, they supported. Lawyers were not only joining but staying, so it had the feel of a growth engine with a plan and a purpose. Everyone we met was a great legal mind but also had a great sense of humor and a similar approach to practice styles. So it felt like a great culture and a great opportunity.”
Kere K. Tickner > Member, Irvine > Enterprise Litigation and Investigations
“Throughout our discussions with McGlinchey, I’ve been consistently impressed not only with the attorneys and the quality of the legal minds within the firm but also with the firm’s growth mindset and strategic trajectory. Many firms are interested in the cannabis market, but those who are investing in deeply understanding and providing top-tier service to these clients are few. We are thrilled to be here among the best and brightest in the legal cannabis space who work hard and support a dynamic firm culture built on excellence and integrity.”

Allyson Byrd > Member, New Orleans > Enterprise Litigation and Investigations
“McGlinchey was the first firm with all the right ingredients that I thought would be successful in cannabis. Cannabis needs authenticity, people who actually care about you and not the billable hours. It needs diversity and forward-thinking, not old-school business practices. I felt that McGlinchey would give me a platform to jump off that would allow me to do more work.”
