Mr. McNally has also represented clients in a variety of civil practice areas, including professional liability, insurance, construction and trademark.

Mr. McNally served as trial counsel for a real estate developer in a month-long federal trial, obtaining a judgment that certain government agencies and private parties were liable for remediation costs under various environmental statutes, as a result of TCE groundwater contamination.
