Julia McInerny

Title: Managing Partner
Office: Washington, DC

Julia McInerny has joined mctlaw as a partner, bringing more than 25 years of experience in healthcare litigation. Her background includes significant work in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) as a trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice.

Before joining mctlaw, Julia served as senior trial attorney in the Office of the General Counsel at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. In that role, she advised NIH and served as lead counsel to several Institutes and Centers on a wide-range of matters related to biomedical research, including advising on transactional agreements, clinical trials, data privacy, legislative affairs, national drug research policy, and litigation.

Prior to her position at NIH, Julia was a senior trial attorney at the Department of Justice, where she defended the Secretary of Health and Human Services in hundreds of vaccine injury claims before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. She handled all phases of litigation, working closely with medical experts and federal agencies. Julia also served as DOJ liaison to national vaccine advisory committees and helped guide VICP policy and procedures.

Julia’s extensive experience representing US federal agencies gives her rare insight into how these programs operate and how to build strong, effective cases for the injured clients she now represents. At mctlaw, Julia uses that knowledge to support the firm’s efforts to resolve vaccine injury claims efficiently and successfully.

Earlier in her career, Julia represented plaintiffs in complex civil litigation including commercial trucking, products liability and mass tort cases at a prominent boutique Washington, D.C. firm, securing multiple seven-figure results. Her combined experience in both government and private practice strengthens mctlaw’s team-driven approach to achieving justice for clients in the VICP.

Outside of practicing law, Julia enjoys spending time with her family and Welsh Cardigan corgi, traveling, walking/hiking, and designing jewelry.

As an experienced leader in these types of lawsuits, we were confident the firm would have the expertise. However, what surprised us most was the high level of excellent customer service from the firm’s staff!

Pat R.

I can't recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

Nate M.

When I say “they went to bat” for me...this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
