A Proud Legacy
Our Story
A Premium on Performance
You don’t need an army of lawyers to win your case. You need a focused, special forces unit. A small, tactical team that can get in, get out and get the job done. That’s us. Unlike large law firms, we don’t put a premium on size; we put it on performance.
Trusted to Deliver
Whether we’re helping individuals or businesses, we have what it takes to deliver results. Speed, efficiency and a true commitment to client success are hallmarks of the Murray Murphy Moul + Basil reputation. Won and Done is more than a motto, it’s our inspiration.
Our Story & Timeline
MMM+B is different. We have a unique history and style all our own. Our firm arose from friendship. All of our partners were law school classmates, three of them were high school classmates and two of them met in the first grade. We are driven by excellence. We were trained by the best. We came from Jones Day, Kirkland & Ellis, Jenner & Block and Vorys Sater Seymour and Pease. We know how to solve complex problems. We also know not to complicate problems. Our job is to cut to the chase and deliver results. That’s what matters.
