Pitt McGehee Palmer Bonanni & Rivers is thrilled to announce that Founding Partner Cary McGehee has been named to The 2026 Lawdragon 100 Managing Partners You Need to Know guide for the second consecutive year. This acknowledgment highlights her outstanding leadership of the firm as well as the broader legal community, culminating in Pitt McGehee Palmer Bonanni & Rivers’ standing as the preeminent civil rights law firm in Michigan.
The list recognizes founders, chairs, and managing partners across the United States who "inspire and lead as never before" and "are impassioned, inclusive, and represent a new era of what it looks like to lead a law firm."
Cary has spent more than three decades fighting for victims of employment discrimination, civil rights violations, and institutional misconduct.

Receiving this recognition two years running reflects Cary's courtroom record as well as her role as a driving force behind a firm whose guiding mission to preserve and protect civil rights she has never let never waver.
