Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon[2] was a prominent New York City law firm founded in 1869.[3][4][5] The firm was later known as Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie, & Alexander,[6] and was subsequently again renamed as Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander.

The firm is best known best as the law firm where Richard Nixon relaunched his career following his resignation as president in August 1974.[7] Plagued with internal fights for leadership and management authority in the firm, combined with defections of some of its largest clients, the firm was dissolved in 1995. At the time, it employed approximately 190 attorneys.[7][3]
