In Memoriam:
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Larry McMullen.
Larry joined the firm in 1959 and spent more than six decades building an exceptional litigation practice while serving as a trusted mentor, colleague, and friend to generations of Husch Blackwell attorneys. He was widely respected for his legal skill, dedication to clients, commitment to pro bono service, and lasting contributions to the firm and the Kansas City community. Our thoughts are with Larry's family and friends during this difficult time.
The following is his attorney bio as it appeared prior to his passing.
Having represented surgeons and physicians in Missouri and Kansas for more than 40 years, Larry has achieved many defense victories for doctors accused of injuring patients by substandard medical care. In addition, he has effectively defended engineers accused of design or performance failures, as well as aggressively opposing a number of significant product liability cases.
Larry’s experience includes:
- Obtaining a complete defense verdict for healthcare clients confronting medical malpractice claims in excess of $6 million.
- Defending two physicians with favorable results in lawsuit over knee replacement surgery.
Larry serves the healthcare industry outside of the practice of law. He currently sits on the Board of Directors for Saint Luke’s Home Healthcare & Hospice. He also has taught at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law.
