Richmond office is firm's 16th location in the Southeast

McAngus Goudelock & Courie (MGC), a regional insurance defense firm, has opened an office in Richmond, Virginia. This is the firm’s first office in Virginia, and the 16th office location in the Southeast. Three attorneys join the firm’s new Richmond office, including workers’ compensation partner RJ Williams, litigation partner Emily Bishop and workers' compensation associate Brian Frame.

 “With a large client base in Virginia, it made sense for us to expand into the Richmond area. RJ Williams has been with the firm since 2010, and was the ideal choice to lead our Virginia efforts,” said Jay Courie, MGC’s Managing Member. “We look forward to growing our Richmond office and serving our clients in the state of Virginia.”
