Greg Hollon is a trial attorney at McNaul Ebel and the firm’s managing member. He has extensive experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complicated, high-stakes commercial and business disputes, including contract, class action, legal malpractice, insurance, securities, financial services, business, franchise, and real estate matters.

Greg has litigated numerous disputes between and among shareholders and members of closely held companies and partnerships, including the prosecution and defense of numerous cases involving alleged minority shareholder oppression. He believes in aligning the firm’s and the client’s interests, and he is open to considering alternative fee arrangements—including contingent fee representation—in significant commercial disputes.

Greg has represented clients through dozens of jury trials, bench trials, and arbitrations, as well as through the appellate process, arguing numerous times before the Washington Court of Appeals and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and twice before the Washington State Supreme Court.

From 1996 to 1997, Greg clerked for the Honorable William Fremming Nielsen, then chief judge of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. Greg joined McNaul Ebel as an associate in 1997, and he became a partner in 2004.

Greg has served for many years as a member of the screening committee of the Pro Bono Panel for the US District Court for the Western District of Washington. He gives presentations regularly on professional issues, including trial practice. Greg has received broad recognition, including selection to the Top 100 list of Washington Super Lawyers every year since 2012.

In his spare time, Greg enjoys mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing, fly-fishing, gardening, and raising his two daughters. He is one of several dedicated bike commuters at the firm.
