Firm Overview

Brunini, Grantham, Grower & Hewes, founded by John B. Brunini over a century ago, is today one of Mississippi’s largest and most respected law firms. We serve primarily business clients, including a number of Fortune 500 companies and other significant Mississippi companies, including the nation’s largest privately held wireless company, Mississippi’s largest health insurer, and one of the state’s largest banks and largest health care systems. Our firm’s practice is organized into three major areas of concentration: Commercial, Litigation and Regulatory law.

Commercial

Attorneys in our commercial department provide counsel and representation in matters of general corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, public and industrial development financing and tax incentives, securities regulation, banking, real estate transactions, insurance regulation, syndication, estate planning, antitrust and corporate and personal taxation.

Litigation

Our trial attorneys handle a wide range of cases, including those involving complex commercial transactions, mass torts, construction disputes, employment discrimination, products liability, medical malpractice, breach of contract, antitrust, securities fraud, business torts, taxation, white collar crime, and environmental issues. We possess experience and considerable reputation in state and federal trial and appellate courts in Mississippi and elsewhere and have acted as lead counsel in many of Mississippi’s largest and most complex litigation cases.

Regulatory

Brunini’s energy practice dates from the first oil discovery in Mississippi in the 1930's, and today includes every part of the industry, from our representation of producers in the field, to pipeline companies transporting the product, to public utilities distributing the energy to the public, to lignite coal projects to generate electricity. Brunini is also distinguished by a formidable and diverse environmental practice, which supports not only our energy clients but our manufacturing clients as well. In the health care arena, we provide comprehensive legal services to entities such as hospitals, nursing homes, physicians groups and other medical care providers. Our public utility practice not only includes natural gas companies, but also providers of telecommunications and electricity.
