Maynard Nexsen

What Maynard Nexsen does

Maynard Nexsen is a nationally ranked, full-service U.S. law firm operating from 33 office locations with a roster of more than 600 attorneys. The firm was formed in 2015 through the merger of Maynard Cooper & Gale and Nexsen Pruet, two established Southeast regional firms, and has since tripled its attorney count while expanding across the Southeast, Texas, California, the mid-Atlantic, and the Northeast. Its practice portfolio spans corporate and business transactions, M&A, securities, employment and labor, healthcare and life sciences, intellectual property, government contracts, litigation, and environmental law. Named enterprise clients include CHS Inc., Regions Financial, Protective Life, CPSI, Knight-Swift Transportation, D.R. Horton, and IASIS Healthcare, with deal experience including transactions exceeding $1.3 billion in value.

The firm generates revenue through professional legal services billed predominantly on an hourly basis with some alternative fee arrangements, priced by practice area, matter complexity, and client requirements (rates not publicly disclosed). Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: clients engage attorneys directly across the 33-office footprint, supported by Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America, and Benchmark Litigation rankings, an active thought-leadership program (publications, the Taking the Pulse podcast with 280+ episodes, webinars, CLE programs), and a near-600-member Alumni Network. Supporting programs include MPACT (diversity and talent development), an annual LSAT prep course in partnership with KAPLAN, a pre-law internship program, and the Employment Law Certificate Series. The firm has no disclosed technology platform, API, or proprietary AI product; technology is described as supporting legal research, compliance, and service delivery.

The firm is organized as a professional corporation (Maynard Nexsen PC) domiciled in Alabama, with ownership distributed among attorney-shareholders. Leadership includes CEO and Managing Shareholder Jeff Grantham, Chairman Greg Curran, Chief Marketing Officer Tina Emerson, and Chief Talent & HR Officer Stephanie Houston Mays. The firm reports no parent company, no institutional investors, and does not publish financial results; revenue, profit, and per-lawyer economics are not publicly disclosed.
