National labor and employment law firm Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLP, welcomes attorney Thomas Eden as a partner in its new West Point, Georgia office. He will also maintain office space in Opelika, Alabama. Eden concentrates his practice in a full range of labor and employment law litigation defense and management counseling as well as immigration compliance and training. Eden began his career with Constangy in the Atlanta office before going on to establish his practice in the Birmingham area, and he later returned to his hometown in Auburn to grow his East Alabama/West Georgia labor and employment law practice.
“We are very excited to welcome Tommy back to Constangy as we expand in West Georgia and East Alabama,” says Neil Wasser, partner and chairman of the executive committee. “He brings with him more than 20 years’ experience with automotive suppliers , as well as a nationwide workplace drug and alcohol testing practice, making him a valuable asset to the firm and our clients. Combined with the already extensive industry experience of our other attorneys, Constangy is poised for growth as the automotive sector expands in the region.”
Constangy recently opened an office in West Point, Georgia, to further serve the firm’s expanding client base of manufacturers in that area. Attorneys from the firm’s Macon and Atlanta offices also serve local clients from the office.
“It has been very much a feeling of coming back home to Constangy. I am thrilled to be part of the firm’s expanding national footprint and the multiple unique practice groups the firm has established. I look forward being a part of the dynamic team of outstanding Constangy attorneys serving employers throughout the nation,“ says Eden.
Eden’s practice includes work in the areas of drug testing law, wage and hour, employee benefits/ERISA, retaliatory discharge, EEOC and discrimination. He is a frequent speaker and trainer, with sessions that include “Santa’s Secrets – The Leadership Secrets of Santa Clause, “Slam Dunk Hiring”, “Legal Defensible Termination,” “Medical Maurijuana: 5 Steps to Walking the Workplace Tightrope,” and many more.
Eden is a Member of Board of Directors for the East Alabama SHRM Chapter and a member of the American Bar Association, Labor and Employment Law Section, the American Employment Law Council and the State Bar of Georgia and the Alabama State Bar. A graduate of the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala., he received his undergraduate degree from Auburn University.
