Career

Brad Lampley currently serves as the firm's Practice Group Leader of the Intersection of Business and Government Practice Group. Prior to serving in that role, he served as Partner in Charge of the Nashville office, a post he held for the better part of the last 12 years. He also served as Team Leader of the firm’s Government Relations team. In his practice, Brad serves as legislative counsel to businesses and trade associations with interests before the Tennessee General Assembly and Tennessee state government, and represents such entities as Philips Healthcare, Apple, The Tennessee Bar Association, Delta Dental of Tennessee, The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association and a number of other businesses and organizations in a wide variety of areas. In those capacities, Brad brings years of experience as a corporate litigator to the advice he provides to government relations clients.

Brad also has extensive experience advising national and multinational companies on economic development matters, negotiating state and local incentive packages for companies that wish to relocate their businesses to Tennessee. He recently acted as Tennessee counsel for a major global health technology and consumer electronics company that was considering where to establish a new North American center for excellence. Brad negotiated state and local economic development incentives, assisted the client on navigating a myriad of governmental and public relations issues, and helped coordinate local strategy. That company ultimately decided to bring more than 800 jobs to Nashville, constituting one of the biggest corporate relocations to Tennessee in the last decade. It also represented the second major headquarters-type relocation that Brad had negotiated in the last five years.
