Law 2024: DOUGLAS S. GRANGER

Nearly four decades have passed since Granger went to work at Hunton & Williams in 1985 as a fresh-faced graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law.

While Granger has remained at the same firm, some things have changed. In 2018, Hunton & Williams merged with Andrews Kurth Kenyon, a Texas-based practice well known in the oil and gas industry, which created Hunton Andrews Kurth. Today, the firm has more than 900 lawyers, located in 13 domestic offices and six overseas locations.

Granger has served as managing partner of Hunton’s Richmond office for almost seven years. As an attorney, Granger’s practice centers around business transactions with a specific focus on mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance. He’s particularly experienced in handling multinational acquisitions.

In 2023, Granger helped lead a Hunton Andrews Kurth team representing Indiana-based Paragon Medical, a provider of highly engineered medical components and instruments, when Pennsylvania-based Ametek, a global provider of industrial technology solutions, purchased the company from equity firm American Securities for $1.9 billion. Granger sits on the board of directors of Venture Richmond.
