This week, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP announced that the firm has hired two corporate associates at its Nashville office.
Thallen Brassel is a former associate with Burr and Forman LLP in Nashville, and had also worked in Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and McCoy LLP in New York.
Brassel works on business, tax and insurance regulation law. She advises clients on business formation and planning, tax aspects of corporate transactions, estate planning, lending and borrowing arrangements, securities offerings and bankruptcy restructuring.
Lori Brewer, the other associate worked previously in the Banking Department of Otterbourg, Steindler, Houston & Rosen P.C. in New York and in the Global Finance/Corporate Department of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP in Charlotte, N.C. Brewer practices mergers and acquisitions, debt financing and business technology. She also represents portfolio and growth companies and negotiates both for vendors and suppliers.
Nelson Mullins opened its Nashville office last year with six attorneys, which has now grown to ten.
Larry Papel, the managing partner of the firm’s Nashville office said “We welcome Thallen and Lori to our corporate group … They are bright, young attorneys, with sophisticated experience, who enhance our client service capabilities.”
Nelson Mullins is assiduously trying to build up its strengths and in April the firm added two attorneys who work on the captive insurance industry in Nashville. Papel also said that soon other attorneys focusing on healthcare, technology, real estate, litigation and government relations are expected to join the firm.
Nelson Mullins is a 500-attorney law firm established in 1897 and the firm has offices in the District of Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, and South Carolina.
