As a law firm specializing in superhuman law, they represent superhumans whenever they need any sort of legal help. These cases can run from libel lawsuits (such as the one launched by Spider-Man against J. Jonah Jameson) ^[1] to defending superheroes from damages (for example, when the Constrictor sued Hercules for $168M) ^[2] . Their legal cases also run into the other-worldly territory, such as across time, space, and the .

To help with legal precedents, actual Marvel Comics (especially those published with the approval of the Comics Code Authority) are routinely cited as legal documents. As a result, their library basement consists entirely of comic books, although they were forced to change over to trade paperbacks when the law offices were destroyed ^[3] .

Initially representing heroes, the law firm began representing villains, which leads to some conflicts of interest, considering Jennifer Walters' status as a superheroine.

After Holden Holliway went on sabbatical to track down his granddaughter, Mallory Book became a partner, and the firm changed its name to Goodman, Lieber Kurtzberg & Book. ^[4]

The main offices of the firm are located in Timely Plaza (a reference to Timely Comics) in New York City, which, is near the New York Supreme Court.

Notes

The name of the firm is a series of references to the history of Marvel Comics: Martin Goodman was Marvel's original publisher; "Lieber" and "Kurtzberg" are references to the birth names of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby; "Holliway" is merely a fictional character.[1]
