Talk:McGuireWoods

Correction to history
"by 1966 was known as McGuire, Woods and Battle..." and by 1990 it had merged with Boothe, Prichard and Dudley of Fairfax and Alexandria, Virginia so that it became known as McGuire Woods Battle and Boothe. This was later shortened to McGuire Woods. signed Rumjal rumjal 19:44, 5 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rumjal (talk • contribs)

History
In 1834, Egbert R. Watson began his law practice in Charlottesville, Virginia. He later formed a partnership in 1870 with George Perkins, and in 1936 the firm became Perkins, Battle & Minor. The firm expanded in the following decades and, following the 1966 merger of Battle, Neal, Harris, Minor & Williams with McGuire, Woods, King, Davis & Patterson, became known as McGuire, Woods and Battle. In 1987, McGuire, Woods and Battle merged with Boothe, Prichard & Dudley to become McGuire, Woods, Battle & Boothe. In 2000, the firm changed its name to McGuireWoods LLP.
