90 years strong: Honoring our legacy, inspiring what’s next

Since 1935, McNees Wallace & Nurick has grown from a small practice into a firm known for lasting relationships and deep roots across Pennsylvania and beyond. This anniversary is more than a milestone. It is a moment to reflect on the people, values, and relationships that have shaped our story for nine decades.

Through it all, our commitment to service, collaboration, and doing the right thing has never wavered. These guiding principles continue to shape the way we serve our clients, support our communities, and strengthen our teams.

As we celebrate 90 years, we invite you to explore stories that highlight where we’ve been and where we’re headed. From early partnerships to regional expansion, from courtroom wins to community impact, each story reflects the spirit of McNees.

A message from Brian Jackson, chair of McNees

“This firm has always been about people. Our success comes from the relationships we’ve built and the values we’ve carried forward. As we celebrate 90 years, we’re taking time to reflect, to say thank you, and to recommit to the next generation of service.”

A legacy in nine parts

To celebrate our 90th anniversary, we are launching 9 for 90, a nine-part series reflecting on the people, values, and experiences that have shaped McNees. These nine themes offer a look into our history, not through a timeline, but through the ideas that define who we are and how we have grown.

We will be releasing one new post each day, with a different theme highlighted in each entry. Check back daily or follow along on LinkedIn or Facebook, where we are sharing each feature as part of our anniversary campaign. We also invite you to join the celebration by sharing your own memories, reflections, or photos using the hashtag #McNees.
