A FICTIONAL LAW FIRM · A GATEWAY CONCEPTVisit Gateway

Our firm

Mulder & Scully opened in Alexandria in 1993, with two attorneys who had already spent years arguing about method. Fox thinks the answer is in the thing nobody looked at. Dana thinks it’s in the thing everybody looked at and read wrong. You’ll hear from them both.

FOUNDING PARTNER

Fox Mulder, J.D.

Fox handles estate planning and whistleblower protection. He was an investigator before he was a lawyer, and he still begins every matter with the same question: what happened before anyone wrote it down? Clients often come to him after another firm has told them there’s nothing there. Sometimes there isn’t. He’ll tell you that too.

A hunch isn’t a case. It’s a reason to keep looking.

FOUNDING PARTNER

Dana Scully, M.D., J.D.

Dana handles real estate and small business matters. She practiced medicine before law school, and she goes through a contract the way she once went through a chart, looking for the one number that doesn’t fit. When the survey says one thing and the deed says another, she finds out which one is correct.

A record isn’t the truth. It’s where I start checking.

OUR FOUNDER · EST. 1993

Chris Carter

He put the two of them in a room

Every firm has an origin story. This one is mostly a hunch — that two people who would never agree might be worth more than two who always did.

In the world of this fictional practice, Carter paired a believer with a scientist and gave them a single instruction: neither of you closes a file alone.
