Bradley has added appellate lawyer Robert F. Parsley as a partner. 

“Bob brings senior appellate expertise that will deepen our capabilities in the Southeast and provide key support for our clients navigating complex litigation and appellate proceedings,” said Scott Burnett Smith, partner and leader of Bradley’s Appellate team. “He is a leader in the appellate bar across Tennessee and beyond, and his approach to client service and his commitment to mentorship and collaboration make him a tremendous addition to the firm.”

“With his broad experience as appellate counsel and leading briefing teams, Bob’s ability to service our clients’ appellate needs in Tennessee and elsewhere in our footprint will be a tremendous asset to our clients,” added Anne Marie Seibel, partner and chair of Bradley’s Litigation Practice Group.

Mr. Parsley concentrates his practice in civil litigation with a focus on appellate work, and he regularly represents clients in state and federal courts throughout Tennessee and Georgia and in various federal circuits. Prior to joining Bradley, Mr. Parsley worked at another firm for almost 20 years and served as chair of its appellate practice group for over 10 years.

An active member of the legal community, Mr. Parsley serves as president of the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners, a role he was appointed to by the Tennessee Supreme Court. He also serves on the board of directors and as the Tennessee state chair for the Council of Appellate Lawyers for the American Bar Association and is a founding member of the executive council for the Appellate Practice Section of the Tennessee Bar Association.

Bradley’s Appellate team is comprised of attorneys who are tested and proven in federal and state courts nationwide, achieving significant victories for a wide range of clients, including pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, automakers, financial services institutions, and many others in high-demand, large-scale, complex actions. These attorneys also play strategic roles at the trial level, particularly in mass actions and multidistrict litigation, collaborating with litigation teams on trial proceedings before final verdict. Bradley’s Appellate team works with clients of all sizes to obtain and preserve favorable courtroom outcomes and handles appellate issues across every legal discipline across the country.
