Houston-based MRC Global Inc. distributes pipes, valves and fittings, and provides maintenance services, to energy and industrial companies. Founded in West Virginia in 1921 as McJunkin Supply Co., the family-run company sold a majority stake to a Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s private-equity fund in 2007, which later merged it with rival Red Man Pipe & Supply Co. Last year, the company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange and recorded $5.6 billion in revenue. It supplies more than 18,000 customers from offices in 44 countries.
LEGAL TEAM
Since joining MRC in 2011, general counsel Dan Churay has expanded the company’s in-house legal team from two to 12 lawyers spread across offices in Houston; Tulsa, Okla.; the United Kingdom; and Australia. The expansion has allowed Churay to cut the company’s regular spending on outside law firms nearly in half. The team’s duties have included overseeing MRC’s initial public offering in 2012 and supervising the acquisition of smaller distributors in Canada and overseas. The team also handles an array of regulatory compliance and litigation work.
