Kurston P. McMurray
With 27+ years of legal experience — including a decade serving as General Counsel of a publicly traded company — Mr. McMurray brings a rare dual perspective to mediation: (a) seasoned advocate and (b) executive decision-maker.
Having sat in the General Counsel’s chair, he understands how boards, CEOs, and business leaders evaluate litigation risk, financial exposure, reputational impact, and strategic tradeoffs. He approaches mediation not simply as a legal negotiation, but as a business decision process.
His mediations are structured, efficient, and grounded in commercial realism. He works closely with counsel and clients to:
- Clarify risk in practical terms
- Identify decision-makers’ real constraints
- Align legal strategy with business objectives
- Create durable, implementable settlements
He is particularly well suited for complex commercial disputes, contract negotiations, executive-level conflicts, governance matters, and evaluating high-stakes business litigation.Throughout his career, Mr. McMurray has maintained a diverse legal practice, representing clients in virtually every major area of law, including real estate, banking, healthcare, state and federal regulatory matters, and personal and business litigation.
Clients and counsel value his credibility with executives, disciplined preparation, and ability to bring principled structure and practicality to difficult circumstances.
