Foley's Nashville Office Opening, Partner Arrivals Highlighted Across Press

Foley & Lardner LLP’s continued strategic expansion with the opening of the firm’s 27th office in Nashville, Tenn., is featured in The American Lawyer article, “Foley Opens Nashville Office, Adds 3 Holland & Knight Partners.”

Foley Chairman and CEO Daljit Doogal told The American Lawyer that the opening of the Nashville office and addition of partners Jesse Neil, Brent Bowman, and Jon Gaston will enhance the firm’s growing Health Care & Life Sciences and Manufacturing Sectors. “Nashville is one of the hotbeds for both of them,” Doogal commented. “It’s really a natural fit for us as a firm.”

“We are fortunate to add three great people,” he continued, emphasizing the Nashville roots of the trio of partner hires. Two Foley litigation partners, Kevin Hyde and Lauren Loew, will also work from Nashville to help establish and grow the office.

Neil, managing partner of the new Nashville office, identified Foley’s integrated platform, deep and wide practice expertise, and collaborative, interdisciplinary culture across its national footprint as strong benefits for the group’s clients.

“Foley is clearly a health care heavyweight, and their integrated platform has a lot of appeal for me, and it’s also a true partnership,” Neil explained.

Doogal said that he expects Foley’s Nashville office to quickly scale. “Our view is to go into the market, hire people local…invest in the community,” he added.
