Firm Overview

Brunini, Grantham, Grower & Hewes, founded by John B. Brunini over a century ago, began as a small, collegial group of attorneys practicing law together. Today, Brunini has grown into 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, 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 extensive 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 is distinguished by a formidable and diverse environmental practice, having represented a broad range of energy clients, including corporations engaged in the development, transportation, and sale of natural resources and electricity. In the arena of health care law, we provide comprehensive legal services to entities such as hospitals, nursing homes, physicians groups and other medical care providers. We frequently represent public utilities, including providers of telecommunications services, electricity, and natural gas, as well as other parties, in proceedings before the Mississippi Public Service Commission. Additionally, members of our regulatory department frequently appear before state and federal administrative agencies, as well as provide legislative advocacy within a number of highly regulated industries.

Recognized Legal Acumen

Grounded by experience and infused with innovation and new ideas, the vibrant practice of law at Brunini reaffirms our Founder’s vision of growth, excellence and discovery. Even as our numbers have increased many times beyond our initial size, we are still a collegial group of lawyers practicing together. Our Founder’s high standards remain, as demonstrated by the number of attorneys at Brunini who are named by their peers to the ranks of the Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA and many others.
