Co-founders and Managing Partners of Merrick & Stanton. Each remains personally engaged on the firm's most significant client matters.
Alexander Reyes and Dominic Vaughn founded the firm together on a shared conviction: that institutional and individual clients deserve senior, sustained partner attention from first conversation to final resolution.
The two Managing Partners maintain distinct but complementary practices. Alexander concentrates on regulatory enforcement defense, financial-crimes compliance, and the cross-border investigations that increasingly define how multinational institutions operate. Dominic leads the firm's litigation practice and personally tries the matters that cannot be resolved on the file.
Together they set the firm's cultural standard: candid client counsel, partner-led teams, integration across practice areas where matters require it, and the willingness to engage where the questions are hardest.
