Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon[2] was a prominent New York City law firm tracing its origin back to 1869.[3][4][5] The firm was later known as Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie, & Alexander;[6] and was later renamed Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander. The firm is known best as the legal relaunching pad of Richard Nixon.[7] The firm employed some 190 lawyers at the time of dissolution in 1995. Among problems that ultimately destroyed the firm were a long internal fight for leadership, management, and significant client defections.[7][3]
