MacGill PC

What MacGill PC does

MacGill PC (MacGill P.C., DBA MacGill Law) is an Indianapolis-headquartered commercial litigation law firm that represents clients in disputes pending throughout the United States. The firm focuses on bet-the-company commercial litigation, antitrust, trade secret, contract disputes, class-action defense, unfair competition, high-stakes litigation, appeals, and arbitration, serving Fortune 50 companies, city and state governments, and high-profile professional athletes.

The firm operates on a professional-services revenue model — hourly and fixed-fee engagements with budget parameters established at the outset — and combines traditional trial advocacy with a technology stack that includes law-specific secure GPT interfaces for AI-assisted legal research, machine learning databases for federal court dockets, and Technology Assisted Review (TAR) for e-discovery. Courtroom technology infrastructure is delivered through partnerships with third-party providers, supporting trial presentation and proceedings.

The firm is owned by its shareholders — Robert D. MacGill (President, Best Lawyers-recognized since 2003, Benchmark Litigation Star, Thomson Reuters Stand-Out Lawyer), Matthew T. Ciulla (shareholder since 2022, former federal circuit clerk), and additional shareholders Patrick J. Sanders, Elizabeth L. Merritt, and Beau Bayh — with a total headcount of approximately 12 employees. No private equity, venture capital, or parent company ownership is disclosed. Marketing and client acquisition rely on industry recognition (Best Law Firms Tier 1, Benchmark Litigation, Thomson Reuters), legal publication coverage (USA Today, National Law Journal), and word-of-mouth referrals from in-house counsel at large enterprises and government legal departments.
