“We are honored to be recognized once again by the Nashville Bar’s Diversity Committee for our firm’s ongoing commitment to diversity,” said Bob Patterson, managing partner of the firm’s Nashville office. “We value this award for highlighting the critically important issues concerning diversity in the legal profession and in the business community at large.”

Leadership Award recipients are evaluated on the ethnic diversity of their recruitment and hiring efforts, retention and growth rates, and summer associate and internship programs, as well as other programs that promote diversity within the law profession, such as endowments and scholarships.
