A Name That Reflects Who We Are

We are proud to announce that Vanguard Legal, PLLC is now McCullough Huddleston & Woo.

This is more than a name change. It is a sharper expression of our identity—who we are, how we practice, and the value we bring to our clients.

Legal representation is personal. We believe that when companies and founders choose counsel, they choose an individual attorney they personally trust to lead their legal team. This new name reflects the lawyers who serve our clients, the relationships that define it, and the accountability our clients expect.

Since our founding in 2014, we have operated as a corporate boutique that punches above its weight. Our attorneys bring sophisticated capabilities in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, taxation, and international business—delivered with precision, judgment, and a practical, business-first mindset.

We advise innovators, entrepreneurs, and investors shaping industries—from technology and artificial intelligence to consumer genetics and energy innovation. We also represent founders and companies built over decades who are navigating defining moments: multigenerational growth, transition, or exit.

Twelve years ago, we set out with a clear aim: to provide practical, business-focused counsel for complex corporate matters. That mission has not changed. What has evolved is the clarity of our niche and the strength of the relationships we’ve built—with our clients and with a trusted network of referral partners who value clear thinking and decisive execution.

Our new name is a rededication to that standard—and to the high-level, personal service that sets us apart.
