About McMahon DeGulis
A Strong Foundation
Our focused practice in environmental law is relatively unique among firms in Ohio. Founded in 1994 by Michael McMahon and Gregory DeGulis, MD has a rich and deep history with environmental laws and regulations. We use this experience to provide sophisticated solutions to clients across a range of industries. Our experience with environmental law rivals that of national law firms.
Our support of the communities in which we live takes many forms. Whenever possible, we look to engage vendors who are local or headed by women or minorities. Under the leadership of managing partner Wendy Lavey, the firm began an annual day of volunteering within our local communities. MD also sponsors both practice and community related events throughout Ohio. In an effort to further encourage the pipeline of environmental attorneys, MD pioneered and managed the Ohio State Bar Association’s Environmental Law Essay Contest for many years.
We leverage our strategic partnerships and associations to broaden our experience and benefit our clients. MD is a proud co-founder of the Environmental Law Network (ELN), the first environmental law firm network that makes local environmental legal representation available nationwide. ELN creates important benefits for our clients, especially in matters in another state which require strong local connections.
In 2022, MD announced a new collaboration with the Ohio Stormwater Association (OSWA) to provide regulatory support and information related to stormwater environmental regulations in Ohio. The OSWA is a group of public and private citizens dedicated to advancing the management of stormwater and related natural resources through education, leadership, watershed-based coordination and technical assistance in Ohio. Our membership in the National Association of Clean Water Associations (NACWA) as a legal affiliate allows the firm to stay up-to-date on issues impacting utilities of all sizes, urban and rural.
