CHARLOTTE, NC – Venn Law Group is proud to announce that founding member Andrew McCullough has been selected for the 2026 North Carolina Super Lawyers list. This mark of distinction, awarded to only 5% of attorneys in the state, recognizes Andrew’s career-long commitment to excellence in the field of commercial real estate.

With over two decades of experience across the Carolinas and the Southeast, Andrew has built a reputation for more than just technical legal skill. He is known among his clients for a “deal-killer instinct”—the ability to identify and resolve complex obstacles before they can derail a transaction. Whether representing regional developers in 1-million-square-foot retail portfolios or helping local restaurateurs open new locations, Andrew’s focus remains the same: bringing calm, clarity, and efficiency to the closing table.

“It is incredibly rewarding to help clients navigate the critical business decisions that come with complex real estate transactions,” says McCullough. “At Venn Law Group, we curate our practice to serve clients who value a responsive, proactive partner. This recognition from my peers is a testament to the relationships we’ve built and the practical solutions we strive to provide every day.”

Andrew’s 2026 selection adds to a growing list of accolades, including his consistent recognition in The Best Lawyers in America© and Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite.

In Remembrance of Garth Dunklin

We at Venn Law Group are saddened to announce that our partner, mentor, and friend, Garth Dunklin, passed away on January 14, 2021.

As many attorneys and clients in Charlotte and all over North Carolina can attest, Garth was a true “lawyer’s lawyer.” He relished in the practice of law, teaching legal and real estate concepts, and just being a lawyer serving the community.

Garth’s accolades after over 30 years of practice are simply too many to mention in full, but we particularly want to note that over the years he served on the Boards of the North Carolina Association of REALTORS®, the North Carolina CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) and the Charlotte Region Commercial Board of REALTORS® (“CRCBR”). Garth taught classes for CRCBR, among other groups, for over 23 years, and wrote many instructional texts and forms. He was also an adjunct professor for the UNC-Charlotte Belk College of Business, and a Board Member and former Chair of the North Carolina Rules Review Commission.

Garth was a consummate legal professional, and always endeavored to provide quality service and counsel to his clients and colleagues. He will be missed greatly by everyone at the firm and the Charlotte real estate community. Having practiced with Garth and knowing him for close to 20 years, we, in particular, will miss his boisterous laugh and patience as a mentor. We will also fondly remember the first few days of this firm spent at its “World Headquarters”… which was his kitchen table.

We want to publicly thank Garth’s wife, Helen, and his children, Macy and Garth, Jr., for sharing him with us and to assure them that there is a large community of people that will miss Garth with them.

Garth’s family has asked that in lieu of flowers, those that would like may make contributions in Garth’s honor to the American Cancer Society.

There will be an in-person service to honor Garth on Saturday, January 23, 2020, at 11:00 am, at Heritage Funeral Home located at 3700 Forest Lawn Dr, Matthews, NC 28104. Masks will be required. The service will also be live-streamed as well for those that are not able to attend in person. Below is a link to Garth’s obituary, details about the service, and how to give flowers or donations in his name.
