Founded in 1995, NELC is a non-profit organization charged with enriching minority bar members who represent management in the field of labor and employment law. Held in conjunction with NELC’s annual conference, the NELC Academy provides advanced skills training for minority attorneys with less than four years of experience practicing management-side labor and employment law. The program exposes Fellows to NELC’s national network of experienced minority labor and employment attorneys, fosters mentoring relationships, promotes NELC to attorneys who will soon be eligible for membership, and creates a pipeline for future NELC leaders.

Patricia Head Moskal, a partner in the firm’s Nashville office, was appointed on January 17, 2019, by then Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam to be Chancellor of the Chancery Court for the 20th Judicial District, Davidson County. Ms. Moskal replaces retired Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman.

In a statement about the appointment, then Gov. Haslam said, “Pat has great business law experience that will serve the court and this district well. I appreciate her commitment to service in the legal profession."
