Madeleine McDonough was a clinical pharmacist before starting her legal career with the firm in 1990. The Kansas City firm with 277 attorneys has been led by John Murphy since 2000. After he was elected to serve his third five-year term as chairman in 2010, he said it would be his last. Murphy said, “I felt that a 15-year reign was plenty long enough and it was time to turn it over to someone else.”

After graduating from the University of Kansas School of Law, she got her start with Shook Hardy. She later went on to receive a masters of law degree from Georgetown University Law Center. Shook Hardy has grown from a medium sized firm to a significant powerhouse in product liability defense work.
